A Texas man is seeking a court order so he can depose a woman he was dating who traveled to Colorado to get an abortion, in a case that may have ramifications in the ongoing legal battles over abortion rights.
Collin Davis, a resident of Brazos County, filed a legal petition in March stating that on February 20 — the day after he learned the woman intended to obtain the abortion — he retained an attorney, who sent the woman a letter requesting that she preserve all records related to her plans to terminate the pregnancy.
According to the petition, the letter warned that he “would pursue wrongful-death claims against anyone involved in the killing of his unborn child.”

The woman could just as easily have her attorney send a letter threatening legal action against the man for stalking and sexual assault (which resulted in her need for the Colorado trip).
Besides, how could the man prove the woman received an abortion, or even if the child was his without the woman's cooperation? I seem to remember a Constitutional Amendment (and maybe I don't) that bestows the right to avoid self-incrimination -- the man has no case at all without the woman's full cooperation, and it does not look like he's gonna get it.
Why some men seem to believe that they own women's bodies -- especially their reproductive organs -- is beyond my comprehension. I hope someone will enlighten me on this.
It's all part of ending "recreational" sex, according to the Project 2025 manifesto. Anybody who gets an abortion or uses contraception is immediately labeled "promiscuous", no matter their real reason for using those things.
This info about the manifesto really shocked me. Why do politicians feel the need to regulate what consenting adults can do with their bodies? Have they got nothing more important to worry about?

Combine that with the "law and order" stance of many conservatives, and it's no wonder prisons in red states are overcrowded. And like criminal justice as a whole, people of color and those who aren't wealthy will be more likely to face justice and get longer jail sentences.
