CEO Batters Wife, Claims She Is An Unfit Mother Because She Had An AbortionPosted by Winter on 19 Oct 2013 / 0 Comment
Lisa Mehos and her ex-husband, finance CEO Manuel John Mehos, were granted a divorce in 2011, but they have been locked in a bitter custody battle over their two children ever since. Charges of beating his wife were dropped this past August due to the prosecutors lack of confidence in gaining a conviction against Mehos, and since then he and his lawyers have argued that he is not an unfit parent even though the attack was alleged to have occurred in front of their two children. He says that it is Lisa who is the unfit mother; after all, she had an abortion over a year after her divorce.
While Lisa Mehos was unsurprised that Mehos and his lawyers had subpoenaed her personal medical records to use against her in their custody battle, she was shocked at the decision of Supreme Court Judge Lori Sattler to allow the abortion as evidence in the case. Now Lisa will have to testify about her abortion in court, as her ex-husband and his lawyers claim that it proves her to be a liar of poor moral character who is traumatizing her children.

Well, I mean, if the woman had an abortion, well gosh shes probably lied about EVERYTHING, since Catholics never have abortions for any reason (in real life, this would instantly cut the abortion rate by 27%, since thats the percentage of abortions performed on Catholic women). She might be lying about having men over to the house (love the plural here, really sets up the slut shaming), and she would of course traumatize her children when dealing with the health consequences of her actions.

Lisa Mehos is arguing that she is being held to a sexual double standard when compared to her husband. While she is interrogated as to how she could possible have found herself pregnant and decided to have an abortion without men traipsing through her house and her children watching her breakdown, her husbands previous sexual exploits are many....

While Lisas abortion is relevant, according to Judge Sattler, Manuels sexual behavior is apparently not. A forensic psychologist testified that Manuel had confessed to visiting massage parlors, where he paid for sex. Lisa sees a double standard: The court jumped at the chance to use the stigma of abortion to openly scorn, interrogate, and question my ability to be a worthy parent, she told me...(source)

He's hiring prostitutes and she's making a legal reproductive choice, yet she's the one being called an unfit parent. If he wasn't a man, he might have needed an abortion himself, and he probably wouldn't have known who the father was. I can't believe that judge ( and a woman judge at that) allowed this to be used in a custody battle. I suspect that the judge has religious views against abortion.
