TN GOP Bill Would Give Fathers (Including Rapists) Veto Power Over Abortions | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
It's a Valentine's Day gift to sexual predators across the state.

By Hemant Mehta February 13, 2021

A bill in Tennessee would require women seeking an abortion to get the permission of the father first. If he says no, she can't have it.

It's a gift to sexual predators across the state. Naturally, it's the brainchild of Republicans.

State Sen. Mark Pody has previously filed bills to reject marriage equality, ban abortions after a heartbeat is detected, and tried to make the Bible the "Official State Book."

Now, SB 494 (and HB 1079 in the State House, sponsored by State Rep. Jerry Sexton ) would give men veto power over a woman's body, forcing her to give birth if he decides he wants her to cause her pain against her will.


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.

Congratulations to rapists all across Tennessee. Pody and Sexton, both of whom are Christians, decided to reward you for your future crimes.

This is what happens when a "pro-life" mentality overrides common sense, basic human decency, and any modicum of respect for women.

The bill, if it became law, would almost certainly be deemed unconstitutional, but that doesn't matter to Republicans because they will pass anything in the hopes that a conservative super-majority on the Supreme Court would eventually give them the victory they want.

Ummmm..... no. 

The term "Grand Old Party" is a traditional nickname for the Republican Party and the abbreviation "GOP" is a commonly used designation. The term originated in 1875 in the  Congressional Record , referring to the party associated with the successful military defense of the Union as "this gallant old party." The following year in an article in the  Cincinnati Commercial , the term was modified to "grand old party." The first use of the abbreviation is dated 1884. [129]

Um, yes.

Why Is the Republican Party Known as the GOP? - HISTORY

The “grand old party” moniker was actually first adopted by the Republicans’ elder rival—the Democratic Party—which traced its roots back to Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. In his 1859 inaugural address, Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Beriah Magoffin proclaimed, “The grand old party has never changed its name, its purposes, or its principles, nor has it ever broken its pledges.” The following year a Democratic newspaper in New Haven, Connecticut, looked ahead to the presidential election of 1860 and warned that “this grand old party is divided and in danger of defeat.”

Ummm... no

Not to be confused with the current   Democratic Party   or the   Republican Party   in the United States, both of which indirectly descend from this party.
"Democratic Republican" redirects here. For other uses, see   Democratic Republican (disambiguation) .

The   Democratic-Republican Party , better known at the time under various other names, [a]   was an   American political party   founded by   Thomas Jefferson   and   James Madison   in the early 1790s that championed   republicanism , political equality, and expansionism. The party became increasingly dominant after the   1800 elections   as the opposing   Federalist Party   collapsed. The Democratic-Republicans later splintered during the   1824 presidential election . One faction of the Democratic-Republicans eventually coalesced into the   modern Democratic Party , while the other faction ultimately formed the core of the   Whig Party .

The Democratic-Republican Party originated as a faction in Congress that opposed the centralizing policies of   Alexander Hamilton , who served as   Secretary of the Treasury   under President   George Washington . The Democratic-Republicans and the opposing   Federalist Party   each became more cohesive during Washington's second term, partly as a result of the debate over the   Jay Treaty . Though he was defeated by Federalist   John Adams   in the   1796 presidential election , Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican allies came into power following the   1800 elections . As president, Jefferson presided over a reduction in the national debt and government spending, and completed the   Louisiana Purchase   with   France .

It can be a bit confusing but, to put it simply, there have been two Republican parties in our long political history — a Republican Party headed by Thomas Jefferson and one led by Abraham Lincoln.

The party led by Jefferson, which emerged in 1792, is also called the Democratic-Republicans, a term historians tend to use in order to cut down on confusion. This party eventually became the modern Democratic Party of today, which is why, at least until recently, Democrats held annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners.

The modern Republican Party was born in 1854 in Wisconsin and it was this party that Lincoln, who was once a Whig, joined and eventually led. In fact, it’s still called the “Party of Lincoln.”

But even though both parties used the same name, they were miles apart in ideology and political principles, which is why Carl poses the question.

So what are the differences? First the Jeffersonians.

In my book “The Last Jeffersonian,” I defined Jefferson Republican principles by specific policies: limited government, federalism, economy and accountability, sound money, low taxes and tariffs, no national debt, strict construction of the Constitution, protection of civil liberties, and a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Jefferson’s party was formed for the express purpose of opposing the big government agenda of Alexander Hamilton and the Federalist Party that was subverting the Constitution and imposing more government on the country with an array of new internal taxes, profligate spending, a national bank, assumption of state debt, a loose interpretation of the Constitution with like-minded judges to carry out the plan, the suppression of civil liberties with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and a foreign policy that seemed destined for war had it not been for Washington’s mighty hand.

In the election of 1800 voters across the country threw out the Federalists, after 12 years of uninterrupted rule, in favor of Jeffersonians in what was billed the “Revolution of 1800.” Jefferson won the White House and Republicans took control of both house of Congress.

In his inaugural address, on March 4, 1801, President Jefferson, in a complete reversal of Hamiltonianism, called for “a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.”

As President, Jefferson did something extraordinary: He actually carried out his party’s platform.  He cut taxes, slashed spending, and repealed laws, like the Sedition Act. Government actually shrank under his leadership, and it remained very limited.

Jeffersonian conservatism governed the nation, for the most part, for the next six decades through it’s organ, the old Democratic Party of Jefferson and Jackson. Only the Lincoln Revolution of 1860, which brought back the policies of Hamilton, broke the hold and ended Jefferson’s dream of a great “empire of liberty.”

Lincoln’s Republicans were the opposite of Jefferson’s. Lincoln considered himself an “old Henry Clay tariff Whig,” strictly following the economic program of Hamilton and Clay, which consisted of high protective tariffs, direct taxes, federally-funded internal improvements, direct subsidies to big business, and a national banking system with fiat money. The party also supported a loose construction of the Constitution, activist judges, and, beginning in 1898, an interventionist foreign policy.

As President, Lincoln opposed secession (unlike Jefferson), trampled the Constitution, waged war without congressional consent, seized Northern telegraph offices, closed down hostile newspapers, appropriated money without authorization, used troops to intimidate Democrats during elections, illegally suspended habeas corpus, arrested and imprisoned 14,000 citizens without trial, seized control of the Maryland state legislature by arresting key members, banished a congressman to the Confederacy, waged war on civilians, and even contemplated arresting the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for opposing his actions.

In short, the Founder’s Republic – self-determination and constitutional government – ended under Lincoln and the “Yankee Leviathan” State was born.

Factually incorrect by a mile.

The Southern Democrats prior to 1860 may have used the phrase before the Republican Party,

But they disappeared upon Lincoln's election.

The Republican Party adopted the "meme", title, slogan, whatever in 1888 and has owned it ever since.

This is what blows me away about this law. From what I have read, all the 'petitioner' has to execute a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity that is not subject to being rescinded or challenged.

So hypothetically, some rich dude can claim to be the baby daddy and the woman CANNOT challenge his claim. Sure he is on the hook for child support BUT he can effectively control the lives and bodies of as many women as he can afford...

I don't know how a exemption for rape would work, it would have to be an exemption under the claim of rape because there's no way our legal system could try and convict a rapist in under 20 weeks. I think this whole thing is stupid attempt to cause trouble while framing it as making things fair for men, I don't think it will work. Since they're not likely to ever be able to stop women from having abortions they should make it at least partially fair for men by allowing a man to abort his responsibility for the child. Since abortion rights give women a "get out of jail free card" it's only right to provide men the same option even if it's by a different method, why should a woman's freedom of choice infringe on a man's freedom of choice. If a woman has the right to terminate her parental responsibilities so should the man, why should a woman's right to choose include the ability to enslave a man for 18 years. What about Men's freedom of choice, Our bodies our choice, nobody should be forced to labor against their will to pay for someone else's freedom of choice.

When the man gets pregnant, the he will have a choice. But you conflate child bearing to child rearing. Those are two separate issues with their own laws regarding parental responsibility.

While I completely agree with your statement, I have also seen [many times] women manipulate the system to get a LOT of money from the "father" and that money often never ends up going to the child's well-being, welfare, and daily care of said child. 

When my ex and I divorced, I made it a point to keep Friend of the Court out of our child-rearing responsibilities. My lawyer was going for the jugular and I refused to sign the paperwork until he fixed it. If I'd have signed it blind, my ex would've been broke and unable to be a productive and loving father. Any time money was needed for our daughter, he paid at least half. I've never asked him for money, but he's offered it in many instances.

My husband's ex took him for a ride. She got everything in the divorce including their daughter and he got left paying all the bills. Then the slut moved to California far enough away he really didn't have any kind of visitation (we lived in Texas then Arkansas). She used the child support for riding lessons for all her girls instead of putting some away for a college fund. She did a good job of raising her, mostly, but his daughter turned out to be a materialistic brat just like her mother.

He's good at making our daughter, now that she's 17, feel guilty for all sorts of random things. She has met or exceeded his expectations for school, but he can't manage to tell her that he's proud of her. She needed my help with a paper for one of her classes [I'm good at writing, her father, not so much] and it just so happened to be due the week of his birthday. She asked if she could just spend the evening with him for his birthday, but stay with me for the surrounding week because she needed my help. Rather than being an adult and saying, "Sure. I understand," he pouted like a 5 year old, making her feel guilty for asking, and refuses to speak to her now.

Me too. I never once said anything bad about her dad to her. Never spoke ill of him in front of her. She learned what kind of guy he can be as she got older. I've pointed his short-comings out to him regarding how he speaks to our daughter and never recognizes her accomplishments. I even pointed out to him that if he never recognizes her achievements, then why should she bust her butt just to please him? I'm just grateful that his wife is a mature, kind, and understanding woman. She's a lot younger, but she's very smart. Although, she's never had kids of her own, she's always treated my daughter like she's her own. I had to remind my daughter that her "bonus mom" was thrown an ornery, hormonal, teenage Gemini and that she needed to be patient and explain things to her sometimes.

You must ask your Daddy to explain where babies come from.

When a man impregnates a woman, he takes full and permanent responsibility for the eventual consequences. Morally, that is. Legally, men kinda do whatever they like...

But not the Woman. Why ! Is it any less her fault was she not involved ? In America we are supposed to support Equality. So if the Woman can get out of her "full and permanent responsibility" the Man should have the same option. We're talking about Legally here, you wouldn't want to bring Morality into a discussion about Abortion.

Wait! So because a woman chooses to have sex with a man, if she gets pregnant she is on her own. Is that what I'm getting from you? Yes, she does the ultimate choice, but if men want to play they have to pay. Women don't get pregnant on their own...well maybe if they choose AI...but the point is it takes two to dance the mattress mambo, does it not?

I offered this solution earlier but nobody liked it so I will trot it out again.

Women...stop having sex with men. If you don't have sex with them, you can't get pregnant. If you can't get pregnant, you can avoid all this nonsense Zuk is suggesting.

When men get pregnant, they'll have a say.

There's nothing equal about a pregnancy.

We're talking about Legally here, you wouldn't want to bring Morality into a discussion about Abortion. 

Legally, the woman is the one having to endure a pregnancy, so she has full legal say and autonomy. After birth, both parties have legal responsibilities.

The best solution for protecting the fathers right to have his baby if he wants it would be to remove the fetus and either put it in a artificial womb or implant it in a surrogate. That way the woman can terminate her pregnancy without killing the child against the fathers wishes. Maybe we should be working on these technologies so that men's rights can also be preserved.

The father has no such right, as it doesn't exist. There is no way to provide such a right without infringing on the rights of the woman. If the father wants a baby and the woman agrees, no problem. But if the woman wants an abortion, the father is out of luck. Removing a fetus and keeping it viable long enough to gestate in an artificial womb is some sci-fi level stuff, but nowhere near medical technological reality. A similar issue arises with surrogacy, not to mention the legalities involved.

A woman has a right to an abortion if she chooses. That's long been established (despite opposition). She is also not required to obtain permission from any other party. That too has been legally established. And there's no baby in an abortion. Regardless, my initial statement is factually correct and stands!

How about any man that wants "pre-natal" rights just keep their wang in their pants? Men should not get rights over a woman because they have worse impulse control than humping dogs. As for father's - if they can't raise their children with enough common sense to wait until they reach adulthood for such activity, perhaps their parental rights should be examined?

And conversely, you can be passionately "pro-life" and not be "anti-choice".  You can be for sensible border control and enforcement of existing federal immigration law without wanting to see "toddlers ripped from their parents and being put in cages" (regardless of what presidential administration it happens under).  And we can be for common sense gun laws while recognizing that the NRA is also in the business of gun safety and proper training rather than an all out enemy in a binary war with the 2nd Amendment in the balance. 

We are experiencing an epidemic of myopic, partisan ignorance and we as a civilization and country are suffering because of it.

Very true, but the myopia, the partisan exaggeration, straw-manning and the hyperbole go both ways and cause the country to suffer because neither side wants to look for common ground.  Before we can work together we need to quit looking at each other as opposite ends of a political spectrum and instead look at each other as members of the same team with different viewpoints and ideas to bring to a table of compromise and quest for reasonable solutions.  A bit of introspection prior to demonizing others is a good place to start.

Why do you feel that it "seems" that way Gordy? There may be some pro-lifers who think that force should be used to enforce their beliefs, but many like me do not.  The motto "choose life" itself clearly indicates that many feel the choice should not be removed, but yet they wish to offer an honest and rational opinion as to why life might be, or can be, the best choice. 

I suppose I should have added to that sentence and said that one can be passionately "pro-life" and not be "anti-choice", or a hater of women, both of which I've been called for simply expressing my well supported opinions on the science of embryology and making a non-religious "pro-life" case in support of the motto "choose life". 

As Tessylo's meme indicates, few are "pro-abortion", so let's work together to try and minimize the number of times that horrible choice must be made.

Because of all the discussions of abortion rights over the years, I've encountered very few who hold a pro-life and pro-choice position. Many pro-lifers want to restrict choice to various degrees or outright prohibit it. There is the occasion where I encounter someone who understands that abortion is not for them (they take a pro-life stance) while acknowledging they cannot make that determination for anyone else and recognize the need to keep abortion legal and let others make their own choices. But such instances are far and few in between.

There may be some pro-lifers who think that force should be used to enforce their beliefs

Yes there are. We see this with certain bills or legislation passed in some states.

The motto "choose life" itself clearly indicates that many feel the choice should not be removed,

I see that more as an emotional appeal to sway people to make a specific choice. How many would actually support choice being removed if it came to that though?

but yet they wish to offer an honest and rational opinion as to why life might be, or can be, the best choice.

That is always an option for a pregnant woman. But that is not for them to decide for anyone else. I've yet to see a rational opinion on it either.

I suppose I should have added to that sentence and said that one can be passionately "pro-life" and not be "anti-choice", or a hater of women,

Yes, it is possible. 

both of which I've been called

Which is not right.

As Tessylo's meme indicates, few are "pro-abortion", so let's work together to try and minimize the number of times that horrible choice must be made.

I don't know anyone who's "pro-abortion," nor do I see anyone advocating women getting abortions. "Pro-abortion" is just a disingenuous term and an attempt to shame those who support abortion rights, especially when some equate "pro-abortion" with pro-choice, as they are distinctly different.
