@mekkaokereke@Npars01@Jennifer I think that was one of the arguments the doctor tried to throw at my mom. I've also heard from people in the childfree community where doctors would being up hypothetical husbands as well:
"What if your future husband wants kids?"
"You mean the one I haven't even met because I'm not dating anyone? Then clearly he's not the right husband for me."
"But."
"No."
Used to be that the husband's consent was needed for abortions in some states too.
