A vasectomy, a condom, viagra, and birth control are all prior to the act of creating a baby.
That is such a silly argument that I can't believe it's endorsed by Sanrio.
Men have rights too. You liberals need to stop taking away our rights.

Should the pharmacist have to call you before he dispenses the pills? or what if you want to buy condoms? or viagra for that matter? Where does it stop? Being married does not mean you are the other person's keeper. You don't have the right to be notified of or to approve of your spouses medical choices.
Everyone has the right to make individual choices about their own medical care, even if their spouse doesn't agree with it. Do you want your wife to be able to supersede your decision not to have life saving medical treatment?
Obviously, it is the ideal that all couples would discuss their medical treatment and choices with each other regarless of whether it concerns reproduction or life saving treatment. But the fact is it is not the GOVERNMENT's place to force that discussion.
That is what all this stuff is about. Roe doesn't say abortion is good or morally right. It says the government shouldn't decide for a woman whether she should have one.
