The Two Abortion Wars: State Battles Over Roe v. Wade
Away from Washington, another ominous anti-abortion battle is accelerating in the states. Anti-abortion forces have been trying to take advantage of the 2007 ruling in which the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on a particular method of abortion.
[...]
Twenty-nine governors are considered solidly anti-abortion, up from 21 before the election. In 15 states, both the legislature and the governor are anti-abortion, compared with 10 last year. This math greatly increases the prospect of extreme efforts to undermine abortion access with Big Brother measures that require physicians to read scripts about fetal development and provide ultrasound images, and that impose mandatory waiting periods or create other unnecessary regulations.
My position is that if these states are THAT serious about childbirth, the state should be forced to raise the unwanted children. Ladies, don’t get mad, get even: take advantage of your state’s Safe Haven Law (48 states have ‘em) and dump your unwanted baby on the state and let them take care of the baby they insisted you have. Sure it doesn’t work out so hot for the baby, but his/her life as an unwanted child was going to suck anyway: not to be too flip, but as the bumper sticker says “abortion stops a beating”.
It’s easier and a lot more easy to implement than my other idea, which is to assign unwanted babies to pro-life families, whether they want ‘em or not.
