    This is just a theoretical question:

    If a man and woman entered into a written contract that had fair economic terms such as medical costs and financial responsibility towards the child, the contract specific for the agreed purpose of having a child, if that contract also had a "no abortion" prohibition unless the woman's life was tangibly endangered or the fetus determined to have birth defects with the list of what constituted defects allowing abortion, do you think courts should enforce that contract if the woman later decides she wants to abort?

    Do you believe an otherwise fair and reasonable "no abortion contract" should be enforced by courts to extent doing so possible? For example, since it not actually possible to 100% prevent her from doing so, there could a huge economic penalty ($100,000 damage the woman has to pay for violating the contract) and jailed for contempt of court if aborting if a court had ordered her not to.

    Thoughts on the question of no-abortion written contracts?

    I don't know why it wouldn't be handled legally like any other contract especially "surrogate mother" contracts.

    ...and there should be legal action taken against the man if HE doesn't hold up his end of the contract.
