Yes, it was legal - and that's why this is more than just the usual moral debate about abortion. The wider issue here, and a very troubling one it is, is that the State has given itself authority which over-rules the natural authority of the parent. As a father, that concerns me deeply and makes me more than a little angry. Why should the State over-rule any of my rights and responsibilities as a parent unless I am proven to have failed in those responsibilities for myself?
