A recently introduced bill would allow a man to seek an injunction to block an abortion just by asserting he is the father.

Conservative legislators would like to give Tennessee men the right to stop women from having an abortion simply by claiming paternity. But with this bill, men don't even have to prove they're actually the father.

Earlier this month, Tennessee GOP state Sen. Mark Pody introduced a bill that would allow a man to seek an injunction to block a woman from obtaining an abortion by asserting he is the father. Pody is a staunch anti-abortion legislator who tried to get a bill passed in 2019 that would effectively ban abortions at six weeks of pregnancy, when many don't even know they are pregnant.

In the state House, the bill is sponsored by Republican Rep. Jerry Sexton, an enthusiastic backer of Trump's attempt to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election, who has also mused that white people might one day become slaves.

2. If they stop the abortion

do they have to take financial responsibility for the child?

5. That's not really relevant.

Even if he were required to take custody of the child and raise it himself with zero help from the mother, it wouldn't make it one bit better that he can force her to remain pregnant when she doesn't want to be.

When they grow a uterus, I still don't want o hear their opinion.

Make them carry it to term.

These kinds of laws create dead women. That's what they want.
