This is just sickening. For Christmas, you get to kill your unborn child. Not only that, but you get to do it at a discount. This is an absolute perversion of choice.
Not only that, but the group is also known to be a non-profit that is able to, surprisingly, rake in an enormous profit. As well, they have been noted for their ability to look away when the legal ramifications dont lend themselves to their "bottom line".

Um, maybe you can clarify. Why on earth should the father have more say than the mother, who is the one who takes all the physical toll and a great portion of the mental toll either way? Sorry, but all the father did is provide a little genetic material. He won't have any of the physical price to pay.

Well, reread your original post. Actually you did say more.
Look, I don't know whether you are a man or a woman, but it seems you don't understand at all how pregnancy affects your body and your mind. It's not trivial by a long shot. What physical toll does the father have in all this? The mother is the one doing the biggest share of the "paying" in all this. Sorry, but been through it. I know what I'm talking about.
