So can a guy in TX be sued if he asks his mistress to get an abortion?

[dansolo]

Just imagine this scenario. Guy is cheating on his wife, and his mistress gets pregnant. If he were to suggest that she get an abortion, then couldn't he be sued?

1. Damn good question.

Hmm.

8. I doubt it. The woman always winds up responsible to lawmakers like them.

2. I think the law should be amended to make it a rule that the man who impregnated the woman

Has to pay child support for that child for 18 years.

4. Isn't that already the law?

10. It certainly is. NT

3. If he facilitates her getting one (funds, drives her, identifies a provider to do it, etc)

5. There's probably a carve-out for white conservative cheaters.

6. Not to worry - he'll still get reelected

9. You just won the thread.

7. Probably -- and the paramour can bring the suit herself.

I suppose it would help if she made all the arrangements and then backed out at the last minute (to preserve herself from prosecution for having an abortion). An interesting test case.

11. Doesn't matter. Turn him in either way.

Just to fuck with 'em. Let the courts decide if there are any legal consequences. You can just enjoy the thought of him sucking an entire throw pillow up his butt when The Official Letter arrives.

12. Yes.

Create some way for anyone who can bring a suit on this pretext. Let the dogs out on them and see if they change their ways on this matter. Make them pay. Good idea presented by this OP
