No, the courts don't care about this at all. They really don't, and it's been pushed through the courts more than once. The courts refuse to grant any credence to the idea that a man's pserm can be "stolen", no matter what the circumstances. It sounds crazy, but this is something I have a fair amount of experience wiith. It *is* rape in every sense of the word, but as we all know (and as the courts continue to insist) a man can't be "raped".
Once the child is on the way, the father has no rights to speak of. He can't ask or insist the mother do or not do anything, he can be excluded from obtaining any medical information about the child, etc etc. It's actually a lot worse than that, but I don't want to start a huge firestorm here. Suffice it to say that there is no such thng as "reproductive rights for men". Zero, zip, zilch, nada.
