Alaskan Representative Alan Dick (what a coincidence!) thinks women need to have legal documentation of consent from the men who got them pregnant in order to get an abortion.

I don't think I need to tell you how enormously stupid that is, but Mouthrot does a good job of it.

But if you can't read all of that, here's a quick lowdown of why:
-- Rapists.
-- Spiteful or abusive or unfaithful partners. In fact, asking from these sorts of partners could invite further abuse.
-- Absent partners or not knowing who is the father.
-- Forced servitude; "You don't want her to leave? Get her pregnant and deny her an abortion."
-- "It's not her pregnancy."
-- What if she wants to keep it, but he doesn't? His desires trump hers, after all.
-- What if she'll die, or another health condition comes up? Does she need permission to live, now?
-- A woman needing permission from a man about her body. "What's next? His permission to spit or swallow? His permission to use contraception? His permission to get myself sterilized?"
-- Men making decisions for what they think is best for women; Women are not capable of making mature decisions.
-- Women aren't allowed to have sex unless they want to have children.

Here's a petition to make him shut up. You should include a personalized message mentioning the above, or more, so he gets the point of just how phenomenally horrible he is.

If women need permission to have an abortion, men need permission to masturbate.
