MORE THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND – WHO PAYS?   2 comments

From what I know of the people working to ban abortion, they are also people who believe that any costly regulation/legislation should be supported with a careful plan for payment. I think, too, they are usually folks who believe it’s important for fathers to take an important position vis-à-vis the family. So here’s my question. Why are there not active demonstrations and regulations to guarantee that those who sire the embryo/fetus should also be identified and required at least to provide lifelong financial support to the new person. That should be relatively easy given the availability of DNA identification.

  1. I couldn’t agree with you more – about all of it. And it is beyond my ken how ANY of this passes muster with ANYone. Force birth based on some moral sanctity of life ethos but do nothing to make that emerging life tenable, whether with prenatal care, appropriate child care, educational services…anything to do with the social safety net. And daddy sperm donors aren’t held accountable, period. In the end, every single thing hinges on one thing and then all bets are off: forcing a woman to carry a fetus to term. It is all about control. Misogynistic control.
