Michigan "Rape Insurance" Law
The new law assumes that since only women can get pregnant, that women alone should be responsible for the financial burden if a pregnancy results from rape.
Of course not every woman will be raped, and fewer still will become pregnant due to rape, yet ALL women are forced to anticipate being rape and plan ahead the consequences and choices she would make by having to purchase a “rape insurance” rider.
By that same reasoning, not every man will be a rapist, yet some will rape. Not all of those rapes will result in an unwanted pregnancy, but some will. So shouldn't ALL men required to carry “rape insurance” as well? Shouldn't that money go into a fund to reimburse women for a lifetime of expenses that being forced to have and raise a child will incur?
