Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Abortion
I had a girlfriend that recently had an abortion and did not tell me until after she had the abortion that she was even pregnant. Even though we were not married don't I have some say in the matter seeing how half the life she ended was part of me. She claimed she tried to get a hold of me but could not reach me by phone, she then conveniently e-mailed me with the news that she had an abortion. I'm not looking to obtain money or anything but is there some sort of precedent set to keep things like this from happening. She killed a life I would have gladly taken off her hands if she didn't want the responsability.

Re: Abortion
I'd say that under the circumstances which you've described that you're without a remedy for this particular situation, at least one that could be provided under the laws of the Commonwealth.
