This guy is using the law to abuse his girlfriend (and it will probably work). What a horrible situation.

It's a tale as old as time. Dude gets his girlfriend knocked up, but is insisting she keeps the baby, while she doesn't want to.
The biology of the situation kind of gives the woman veto power over this whole thing, at least with modern medical knowledge. And that's what this is all about, isn't it? Men are historically used to a certain level of privilege, and some men object whenever they are told "no", whether it's in the workplace or at home. But now, they can't trap a woman anymore by knocking them up -- at least as long as contraception, birth control, and abortion access are available. This lawsuit seems to reassert that control over women on behalf of "all current and future fathers".
Zootopia abortion comic
That man should not have taken the medication if he did not want an abortion.
Rodriguez wants an injunction on behalf of a class of “all current and future fathers of unborn children in the United States.”
Keep my name out your fucking mouth!
In the lawsuit, Rodriguez claims his girlfriend took abortion medications on two separate occasions. According to Rodriguez, his girlfriend’s estranged ex-husband purchased the drugs from Coeytaux, who sent them across state lines.
Something tells me that this is not the lawsuit that the Party of Family Values really wants to attach itself to....
Rodriguez wants an injunction on behalf of a class of “all current and future fathers of unborn children in the United States.” He also seeks $75,000 in damages against Coeytaux.
That seems like quite the large class, doesn't it? Pretty much every adult man with functioning organs (who hasn't been snipped) qualifies. At least if this goes forward, it will theoretically be easier to file large class-action lawsuits against Trump administration Immigration policies....
Should say: "On behalf of all men who want to have kids by unwilling women"
EDIT: also, the boyfriend calls her ex "estranged" even though she went back to him for help lol
SCOTUS just said "You can't haz national injunctions lol."
They explicitly made an exception for super broad class action lawsuits, though.
Shut the fuck up you fucking Texas asswipe right-wing hicks.
