Abortion is one of the most sensitive topics that are quick to evoke strong emotions every time its discussed. With each bunch holding dearly to their justified beliefs. Well, a new story from Alabama, USA is fueling the already raging debate by inciting another debate concerning Foetus ownership.

Ryan Mager, 19 has decided to file a lawsuit against a clinic in Madison County for terminating his girlfriend’s pregnancy without his consent. However, the case seems to go deeper than that.

A court in Alabama has recognized the unborn baby as a person with rights, opening a leeway for the would-be father to sue on its behalf.

Two years since Marger’s girlfriend underwent the procedure, the young man is still racing the corridors of courtroom pursuing justice. He hopes that in the future, men will be granted legal precedent to keep their baby even if the other half isn’t willing.

He said: "I'm here for the men who actually want to have their baby. I believe every child from conception is a baby and deserves to live.

"I just tried to plead with her and plead with her and just talk to her about it and see what I could do, but in the end, there was nothing I could do to change her mind.

"Even though there's nothing I can do for the situation I was in, there is something I can do for the future situations for other people."

The girlfriend reportedly terminated the pregnancy at six weeks gestation by taking two pills. Magers’ Lawyer J. Brent Helms adds that the teenager was ready and willing to take up his fatherly duties.

"Ryan was all about family. He took on extra jobs to be able to pay for the birth of Baby Roe," he said.

"He doesn't know why she didn't want to go through with the pregnancy. He's not giving me a definitive answer to that question."

While he’s obviously siding with his clients, the pair also have to recognize some far-reaching consequences if the court decided to side with them. For instance, what if a female rape victim is forced to conceive a baby because the rapist wants the child?

Helms said: "I think the answers to a lot of these questions will have to play out in the future depending on what the court rules.

"There could be a situation where a father has to give consent to an abortion, also, our Alabama legislature could carve out exceptions. It's almost too early to tell."
