Let's say the Mother wants to abort but the Father does not. How to we solve that? Imo the Mother should have to buy out the Father. So she would have to pay the Father 18 years worth what would be child support. Considering right now the avg child support is $430 a month that equals out to a roughly $93,000 buy out from the Mother. That makes it fair.
Yes, but if this is to be a business enterprise, the mother will need to be compensated for the use of her womb and for supplying nutrients, as well as compensation for any discomfort or inconvenience due to carrying a fetus to term and delivering it.
What's a baby worth to this potential father-to-be? I say let him raise and support the baby without the mother's financial help. The use of her womb was contribution enough by the mother if she was willing to have an abortion, but didn't at the request of the father..
Once the supply is diminished, the abortion addicts will have to go cold turkey and/or seek help to get healed.
No.
If you cut off access to safe and legal abortions in America, American girls and women with unwanted pregnancies will either be traveling abroad for their abortions, go to American underground clinics or back alleys for their abortions, find effective abortifacients to induce miscarriage, put a baby up for adoption, or raise an unwanted baby
Hold on to you rights and freedoms, Americans. Here come the theocrats to take them away and convert gravid American wombs into church-state incubators.
This won't look good on the world stage, as progressive Western democracies click their tongues and roll their eyes as America inches closer to a Handmaid's Tale-like dystopia. Iran and Saudi Arabia, however, will probably approve.
And then the boycotts. Sure, you're free to hold your religious views, but if you intend to impose them on others outside your religion, expect blow back as the Colorado bakers got. Regressive states with theocratic tendencies like Georgia, Alabama, and now Missouri, can just take the economic hit. Liberals and progressives will spend their money elsewhere. No conventions in these states. No new manufacturing starts in regressive states.No tourism to them. Don't stay in their hotels or patronize their restaurants. No mail order purchases from regressive states. And so on.
And do you know who's getting those abortions?
70% of Women Who Get Abortions Identify as Christians, Survey Finds
America really needs to separate into two countries like the Czechoslovakians did. It comprises two populations that don't seem to have much in common any more, not to mention mutual animosity and contempt, and no reason to treat one another with more deference than they do non-Americans. Less, actually. I have no beef with Canadians, but I do with conservative Christian America.
The blue states could form two countries in a confederacy, one comprising the western states (Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, and California), and one the eastern states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England).
They could see themselves as one country, or two that were allied.
The military could be divided, as well as the national debt, with each state assuming 2% of it. Yeah, I know that that means more debt per capita for anybody coming from a state ending in Dakota than Californians and New Yorkers, but they also have had more senators per capita, which has tended to make and keep the Senate Republican. They were disproportionately represented, and so owe more.
The American federal government would be disbanded. Two new Constitutions would be drafted and two new governments formed.
Neither's taxes would be used to underwrite the ideology of the other. Conservatives won't have to pay taxes that are spent on abortions or welfare that they find reprehensible, and liberals wouldn't have to pay for border walls they don't want or cages for children that they find reprehensible.
And you wouldn't have the non-stop investigations, mutual impeachments, or presidents undoing what the last one just accomplished. The two nations could trade if they like, and travel between them would still be an option for somebody that prefers Disneyland to Disney World or vice versa, or the Met to the Grand Ol' Opry or vice versa, or Emory to Columbia or vice versa.
Then the liberals can get abortions without fear of prison if they like, and the conservatives can ban them if they like. Why be constantly bickering when there is no love left between the two?
