Topic: Abortion
Quote: I won't throw my ideas on abortion out there just yet, but I have to ask this question. Should fathers have to pay child support considering a mother could have mitigated the expense by having an abortion?\nFor example: Jack is 55 and makes 20,000 a year. Jack gets injured by Bob, and can no longer work unless he gets a $1000 operation. Jack's religion or other views preclude getting the operation, so he sues Bob for $200,000, the wages he'll lose over the next ten years. Since Jack could mitigate his losses by having the operation, nost likely all he will be entitled to is $1000.\nSo- shouldn't child support be limited to the cost of an abortion, under our current pro-abortion laws?
Response: This is more of a legal question involving whether or not it was negligence(sp). If so, you can't really sue for amounts of money you MIGHT get in the future. He could sue for lost pay on the job and other medicial procedures. So ya know :). I don't really know what the question is.
