LINK Tennessee Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Allow Fathers To Veto Abortions | HuffPost

(I think if the father is able to veto an abortion than they should also assume full financial responsibility for the child as well.)

A bill introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly this week would allow a man who gets a woman pregnant to request an injunction barring her from having an abortion.

The legislation, SB0494 in the Senate and HB1079 in the House, would require a court hearing to be held within 14 days of a petition being filed by the individual seeking an injunction.

At the hearing, if the man can prove that he is the biological father and that there is a “reasonable probability” that the woman would obtain an abortion, the court shall issue an injunction prohibiting her from terminating the pregnancy. Proof of parenthood requires only that the petitioner acknowledges paternity. A DNA test is not required.

If the woman violates the injunction by obtaining an abortion, the court may hold her in civil or criminal contempt. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

(As usual they give men power over women with no consideration of any kind)

Don't be pissed off at men for this. Be pissed at pseudo-christian conservative yokels in Tennessee. They never listen to us. In fact, they'd shoot us if Q told them to.

Are they willing to be sterilized after their "veto"?

That would be forbidden by their religion!
