Nobody has the right to murder a child. Murdering a child is not a health care issue it’s a moral issue. Who are we, as God’s servants and as God’s creation, to interrupt God’s process of forming a human being inside the womb? Who are we to tell God “no, You cannot continue to create that human today.”?

So to answer your question I would have to say no there should be no civil law that would allow such a terrible act. Abortion should be 1000% illegal.
but what about if the woman’s life could be at risk of the pregnancy?

it would be a great Testament to her faith in God that she go through with that pregnancy and do everything within God’s will and within the Doctors Medical power to make sure that baby makes it out alive.

Women need to be encouraged to emulate Brave women like Saint Gianna then to be so prideful that they could break God’s commandment to not murder.

Usually it’s not the women who are not brave. It’s usually the men.

One body argument in the context of sexual matters between husband and wife.

I don’t tend to think of abortion this way, because the child is a separate person, a third person, who is killed. But I suppose, hypothetically, that a person might see the child as the outcome of the unity of the couple.

If a woman wanted to hide an abortion or STD and there was a rule about telling the spouse, she might well seek an illegal abortion or treatment to avoid telling him. This would have negative health outcomes (in addition to the obvious effects).
 
How is a husband’s signature supposed to stop his wife?

And a permission slip is going to accomplish what the State can’t do?
 
I realize that all arguments here has been brought up in the past. In the end people preference divided between two extremes:
  1. woman has privacy without spousal consent, or
  2. just illegalize abortion altogether.
 
While I think (along with everyone else I have seen on this thread) that Abortion is evil, and should be abolished, this would be a (small) first step, because, even though most people who get abortions (not counting the Contraceptive Pill) are not married, it would be a step in showing that the unborn: A) have rights, B) that Fathers are both integral and should have an equal say in things, and C) that babies aren’t exclusively part of the woman’s body, but rather a separate entity, which then makes the Abortion rights argument of “the woman should have control of her body” break down.

Isn’t it wrong to demand ideal solution from one side of the problem, but not from the other side?

When we tolerate porn, we have no more luxury of idealism; otherwise, prolife begins to sound like misogynistic movement. Or, some misogynistists philosophy begins to take advantage of prolife movement and perpetuate gender inequality if not gender slavery.

To let gender inequality thrive, is to let injustice against woman and their children.

Prolife movement should demand than man of good intent takes care of his family

The fetus is part of the womans body until it can survive on its own (viable). As our technology become more & more advance, hopefully fetus viability age getting younger and younger. The law protects both the right of the mother and the right of a viable fetus.

I would question the fact that illegal abortion is unhelathy, but prolife people prefers to illegalizing abortion.

Not any fathers have equal say. Only father who marry to the woman has a say.

A man whose woman pregnant with his child but refuse to marry her/ cannot marry her ( because he has his own wife, or the woman has her own husband), he has no say.

Only husband & wife are of one body, and not any man/ any woman

Abortion is the outcome of something else that also immoral towards both woman and children.

To forget about it and just pushing responsibility to woman is just as immoral.

Catholic view on utilitarianism Philosophy
So, utilitarianism. You’re probably familiar with the trolley problem. A train is heading to a place where 5 people are on the rails. I can switch a lever and direct the train to another rail where only one person is. Should I do it even though I would be directly responsible for one death? I know Catholics aren’t utilitarians and in most cases this coincides with my “moral gut feeling”. I for example think that Raskolnikov in “Crime and Punishment” shouldn’t kill the old lady (that everyone h…

Supposedly illegalizing abortion will lessen the number of abortion,

does it make it better to let one foetus die in back alley clinic, as compared to five in legal clinics?

In other words by illegalizing abortion, we let one die but we save five.
