Until women demand that either the impregnating man or the state imposing forced production [View all]

of a child compensate them for the labor and risk of life it will just keep going this way.

Let’s start the conversation by talking about free healthcare for all women of childbearing age, free childcare. A model for financial compensation for the work of producing a baby begins by looking to what surrogates are paid.

If the government won’t step up to the task- notably because the republicans block anything reasonable, bonds should be required of all men capable of causing a pregnancy. If the state won’t fund these costs, then males should be forced to either have a vasectomy or post a million dollar bond. Any pregnancies that they cause the woman ( now forced to produce the child against her will) could draw upon for this for pain, suffering, risk of life and work.

It’s time to turn the tables here. Either individual males post bonds or the government pays. Child production forced upon anyone should not be uncompensated.
