Beasts of Burden

So here it is, my proposal to help shore up American Families at this critical juncture in American history: the Family & Strong Communities Act.

The proposal is a simple one: if a woman becomes pregnant, men will be responsible up to, but not exceeding, 60% of their total wages from the 3rd trimester of the pregnancy to the child's 18th birthday. Once determined to be the father, which can be enforced by law, no man will be allowed to be unemployed for more than 2 weeks. That's it.

This can be its own law or an amendment attached to any bill at any level, state or federal, that seeks to make abortion illegal.

Now pregnancies will no longer be 'unwanted' since everyone will be paying for them in one form or another.
