GS:I Debate Texas' Frozen Embryo Case on Fox Morning Show (Video Available) Options

[MGTOW-feed]

I debated the Texas frozen embryo "mothers' rights/fathers' rights" case on Fox's nationally-syndicated Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Friday, June 1. It involves Augusta Roman and her ex-husband Randy Roman--the latest man getting beat up unfairly in the media for not doing what the woman in his life wanted him to do. The case is getting widespread national media attention.


In the case, the couple had tried for several years to have a child (and had one miscarriage) before undergoing infertility treatments. The day before the embryos were to be implanted, Randy told her that he was troubled by certain aspects of their relationship and wanted to wait to implant the embryos until they had resolved their problems. They went to counseling for six months and later divorced. Augusta, who will be 47 in August, still wants to have the children, and Randy has refused.


While undergoing the infertility treatments they had both signed a form which clearly stated that in the event of divorce, the embryos would not be implanted. In February, the Texas Court of Appeal sided with Randy, and now Augusta and her attorney Rebecca Reitz are appealing the case.


On the show I debated the issue with Augusta Roman and Becky Reitz. The co-hosts, Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy were sympathetic to Augusta, and Juliet at one point got very angry at me. To Juliet's credit, however, she did ask good questions.


Also on the show was Fox News legal analyst Jeanine Pirro, who gave her opinion as to Augusta's chances of winning her appeal. As I had expected, Augusta and Becky had a division of labor--Becky would argue the case while Augusta would play the weepy victim and vilify her ex.

Also, as I pointed out on the show, the Texas Court of Appeal said that Augusta didn't have a leg to stand on legally--to read the Court's opinion, click here.


Augusta and Becky have also taken their case to the public via appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's Today Show and others, and those appearances many be archived on the ABC and NBC websites.
