Schrödinger’s pregnant woman…
Both "irresponsible" enough to unintentionally become pregnant while being responsible enough to be compelled to maintain 9 months of healthy pre-natal care, and then care for a newborn baby. 🤨

I think there is a simple and equitable solution here. Abortion for any non life saving reason can certainly be banned.. In return, the offspring of this pregnancy can be handed at randon to any registerd Republican voter, with a legal responsibilty to provide for all the childs needs until the age of majority inforced by court order. I think getting the law involved in both sides of this is only fair. Its also best for the child if the selection process is means tested. So the children go to the richest families. After all. Its all about the welfare of the child. Right?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Absolutely. And those who want to involve themselves in the reproductive choices of total strangers can really get involved, and put their money where their mouths are. 👍🏽

@bijouxbroussard these are fanatics as they are in that part of the world. There's only the difference of degree.
Why are these states legal marriage age so young, NOW ? When it's illegal to even drink at these ages there?

Note: most of these, with the exception of four, are conservative states.
These are kids getting pregnant and condoned by law through marriage of parental consent.
What's the difference in Afghanistan other perhaps a couple of years younger? The parental consent is required there as well.

@DeWayfarer The différence is, these are old laws that continue from the days before Roe v.Wade when marriage was the only option to becoming an ”unwed mother", which held a stigma it doesn’t now.
I used Afghanistan as an example because there was a point where their women had gained civil rights that their religious right-wing, in the body of the Taliban, were able to reverse and take away.
I hate to imagine that with as many women in positions of power and leadership that could happen as completely here.

@bijouxbroussard these laws have not changed. You have to ask why? Especially with so many women in power now! 🤷🏻♂
Look at Wyoming. 16
That's a conservative strong hold and with the McCains (including Megan a very strong woman) having power for decades.
BTW I had a girl friend in Wyoming. Her first marriage was at 16. Had to chase the guy out of town because he was hitting her! She never was pregnant though. No stigma! This was after Roe versus Wade in 1979.

Yes. Just one of many puzzling ideas held by the "ALL abortion is murdering a baby" folks. I've often wondered why many of them include exceptions for rape or incest in their expressed views or laws. Surely, neither would be the "murdered" innocent baby's fault...in any way.

Sounds like a lot of women I know or have known.
bijouxbroussard · F
@justanothername But did they see themselves as having become pregnant by being "irresponsible" ?
