Fathers have a natural right to protect the lives of their own children, whether you endorse that right or not.
I can appreciate that but I have a right to protect MY life and my health regardless of what my husband thinks or wants. Fortunately, he is a good man and when we were faced with a tragic life and death situation involving my body and a doomed pregnancy that could not be saved, he didn’t get in the way of life saving treatment for me. Not every woman is that lucky and this proposal is a nightmare for them.
