My challenge to all elected officials proposing outlawing abortion...

[ourbluenation]

Create a companion piece of legislation that requires the father of the child to turn over half of his income to the mother of his child until the child he helped create is 21. Come on...I dare you. Put your money where your asshole is.

1. There are already child support laws on the books.

[ourbluenation]

3. Not half their income...and often it's hard to enforce

make it much stricter....

6. enforcement funding has just been cut

by our beloved leader and his faithful congressmen

2. Maybe the unwanted

babies forced to be born should be left on the porches of republican homes or left en masse on the front steps of fundamentalist churches in the dead of night? Since these fuckers want to make sure every baby is born even if the mother can't care for it..Why not give it to them?
Make the fucking zealot assholes eat their words..I think all the unwanted babies should get dumped on the very people that insist it be born... after all THEY wanted it more than it's own parents did..They should take care of it too..I bet if this happened for real the anti abortion bullshitters would change the law fast..because THEY don't want the burdens of an unwanted kid or unwanted spawn of a rapist either..

4. Make them pay the costs of the pregancy too

Prenatal care, lost wages from work, hospital bills, any ancillary costs. They want to force a woman to give up 9 months of her life to be an incubator for a baby she doesn't want they can pay for it.

5. Well the only way they;'l pay

Is if thousands of women(tioo many to arrest easily descend at one time beat the church door down bills in hand screaming for the pastor CEO's head day after day.Or if women bang on the doors of repullicans in gated communities at the dinner hour or at night..day after day relentlessly. The only way it seems to stop these assholes is to make forced birth THIER personal problem.

7. It's a nice idea

I also like the idea someone posted elsewhere about women flat-out refusing to sleep with men if this BS about banning abortion (and even reducing/eliminating access to birth control) keeps up. If we can't control if and when we get pregnant and carry a child, then no sex for them. That ought to get their attention.
