Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
Against the law in California part 2?
This question is very important to me.
Is it against the law in the state of California to have a verbal agreement to have an abortion?
I need an honest answer.
I am being sued for breach of contract. However, the plaintiff breach a verbal contract by not having a abortion, providing documents to proof she had an abortion in order to get me to sign a promissory note.
I know some people may not like this question - however, I am trying to protect myself in the court of law and I need to know if I can pursue my case being that plaintiff did not have an abortion and I have paper and tape recording evidence to present to the court our verbal agreement, her fraudulently act with providing proof that the abortion had taking place, etc.
Thank you for your assistance

Re: Against the law in California part 2?
It is more likely than not that a court would find that the subject matter of your agreement is against public policy and therefore the agreement is void, and my best guess is that, if you proved the promissory note was made in consideration of this type of agreement, this would also entitle you to rescind the promissory note. But your agreement would not affect your liability for child support.
Since this was a verbal agreement, you will have an uphill battle in proving it. You should consult a lawyer before trying to introduce tape recordings in evidence as, depending on the circumstances, it might be a crime to have made the tape, or it might be inadmissible in court.
