Apologies, I know it’s a shitty website.
I think they’d gladly accept those changes. I agree that men should be financially responsible from the point of conception but the language of calling it “child support” is definitely intentional and nefarious. They want zygotes to be looked at socially and legally as people to legitimize total abortion bans and the harsh punishments that follow.
It also gives the father power over the mother. Just wait for: He pays for it, so he should have a say in whatever the mother does.
Why is this getting downvoted? He’s absolutely right.
Rape is all about power and control. Forcing the woman to also carry the rapist’s baby (or possibly even raise it) would be a trophy for the rapist. The fact that “that bitch now has to carry and pop out my kid, too!” is going to make rapists all sorts of giddy knowing that the US government is going to make sure that the victim suffers for at least 9 more months.
“Hey, I’m in jail, but that’s my kid in your stomach. Do me a favor, and let me know if he has my eyes, OK?”
The level of mental torture that rapists would have on their victims would grow exponentially, and that alone is going to be a huge incentive for those who get off on having that kind of power over women.
Abortion bans absolutely do incentivize rape.
I find incentivizing rape a bit out there. Rape is a crime of violence usually perpetrated with no thought to whether or not their would be a child. This is more nefarious. It continues to erode women’s self autonomy with the end goal to eventually reduce them to little more than breeding stock.
