If there weren't double standards, they'd have no standards. Funny how the phrase "My body, my choice" isn't thrown around like it used to be, seeing as that's never actually what they believed. Evidence being your exact example.
They are. Child support. If a women doesn't want a baby, she can abort that child without the father's consent. If he doesn't want the baby, he can't make her get rid of it (rightfully so) and he's then held accountable through 18 years of child support.
And unfortunately 99% of it is the former. The latter, 1) that isn't illegal anywhere. 2) There actually many medical professionals that will tell you there are no instances were it is medically necessary, mom and baby can both be cared for as patients. And miscarriages and all related medical treatments related to them are not abortions and nobody is arguing against them. I cannot believe how many people think they are.
He lives in Belle Plaine, IA. Sioux City Journal had to print a correction after they said he wasn't an Iowa resident and wrote that he voted in Iowa elections in 2014, 2016, 2024, 2025, and 2026 so he's lived in Iowa and has for at least a few couple years, all allowable under the Iowa Constitution, so I'm not sure what the controversy is.
From what I understand, he is divorced and has a blended family, I don't know if it's his current wife's kids or his kids from previous marriage that live in Kansas (not that it matters) that he goes back to support in events, etc. I don't think it's a great look to attack a guy for NOT being a deadbeat/absent father, but that's just me.
