Here is my ideal penalty for abortion:
Wages get garnished $9 a day for a year (both the woman who gets the abortion and the man who is the father of the aborted baby pay this). The revenue goes to sponsor a starving American child, getting that child out of poverty. If you take a life from abortion, you should be required to save a life by some other method and child sponsorship is a cheap way to save a life to make up for the life you took.
There are 1.6 million American children that need sponsorship every year and about 800,000 abortions a year. We are able to reduce child poverty by 50% with this plan in place.
If a woman gets raped, rape victim insurance pays for the child sponsorship. How this would work is the following:
Every female pays a penny a day to a government fund and in exchange, if all of the following apply to a woman:
1) She gets raped
2) She gets pregnant from the rape
3) She successfully prosecutes the rapist using her pregnancy as proof.
Then she gets $20,000 restitution. If she aborts, she gets $13,000. The remaining $7k goes to sponsor the kid. The rapist gets killed.
There are many ideologues in this country that want life in jail for women who gets an abortion. There are also many people that would be opposed to ANY punishment for women that get abortions, including one that helps to reduce the poverty rate. My plan punishes the woman and the man who is the father of the aborted baby in a way that does not tread too much on liberty while also helping to significantly reduce the poverty rate.
If you’re an extreme ideologue (Polytheist, ebuc, brother D) and you comment, I’m going to do my best to ignore you. You can’t be reasoned with; your too far down the rabbit hole. But the majority is not as partisan as you, so I welcome the majority to comment here.
