Does a husband have the right to say no?

 Does a husband have the right to say no to his wife's abortion?  The Pro-Choicers wage two basic arguments:  "A woman's right to choose” and "It's her body--her choice!”

I usually agree with this position if the woman isn't MARRIED to the man. What women in this country fail to realize is that a MARRIAGE is a LEGAL CONTRACT joining two individuals into one—it's not just a DECLARATION OF LOVE!
When a marriage license is signed, it's implied that both individuals give up their sole ownership of their bodies.  They both agree to become one! They join their bank accounts, credit reports, and tax returns, and share homes, property, the marital bed, and most importantly, the children and all responsibilities related to them.  Women are bound to the MARRIAGE CONTRACT as much as men are!  They can't just pick and choose when they'll abide by it or be bound by it, and as far as I know, Marital Laws do not stop at the border of the cervix—they go all the way up into the womb.

As the Gay "Right-to-Marry" argument reminds us, marriage holds special and exclusive rights, which co-habitation or civil unions do not have.  Marriage has the right to pull the plug on the spouse when in a coma.  Marriage has the right not to testify against the spouse.  Why, marriage even usually carries the privilege of being appointed to the seat when a senator dies. Never has a Governor appointed someone's lover.  If I just live with and fuck a guy, I don't get those rights.  Only if I signed that LEGAL CONTRACT could I be called "The Honorable Tara.”

Which is why I say to American women:  a HUSBAND DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO!  Just like a WIFE has the right to say no to her husband cutting off his sperm sac, a HUSBAND has the right to say:  "don't kill my baby!  And, in fact, DIVORCE LAWS support this.  Divorces are granted for infidelity and infertility.  If a woman does not want a man to have any say in what she does:  DON'T SIGN A MARRIAGE CONTRACT!  Stay single, co-habitat, don't file joint tax returns, and your womb will always belong to you!  But once you sign your name on that dotted line, your womb and his balls are shared property.  That's what a marriage is—not that sappy, romantic shit described in movies and love songs.  Stop believing it is just a declaration of your love.  Marriage is ownership!  That's why it exists!  And that is why it gets special privileges!

Some will argue, "What if she's in an abusive marriage, he'll beat her," etc.  My retort is simple, DIVORCE, SPERMICIDE, IUD!  This is America, not Saudi Arabia!  American women have the right to drive themselves to the pharmacy, they have the right to call cops and get their abusive husbands arrested, and most importantly, they have the right to stand before a judge and tell their story.  If there is a conflict between a HUSBAND and WIFE, a judge can make a decision, just as with separation of assets, child support and child custody.  I say again:  if you don't want a judge or a man to make decisions for you, don't get married.  This isn't about the right to abortion, it's about Marital Laws and what they mean.  Marriage isn't love, it's legality!  Stop living in Romantic La La Land!
