If the nation is going to put the rights of the "innocent" unborn babies (clumps of cells that may or may not become a babies) ahead of the rights of the human incubator woman because let's see (1) it's taking human life, (2) women have made their choice when they had intercourse (leaving out the rape, stupid, and oops factors, among others) and (3) God is going to destroy this country for the untold billions of lives taken the abortion holocaust .... I have some ideas.
- All zygotes/fetuses will be DNA typed.
- The sperm donator and the woman will be DNA typed, matching the male with the results of his donated sperm.
- #2 necessitates the DNA typing of all sperm bearing men ... let's say at bar mitzvah age. The woman can be DNA typed at notice of conception. While some will protest this action as a loss of privacy, the rights to privacy must be subordinate to the life of the fetus (end of story).
- The woman will bear the child and give birth during which time, the federal government will pay all expenses.
- During the same time frame, the father will either donate a certain designated portion of his salary or go to work for the federal government for a nominal amount, the proceeds of which will be used to help defray costs of pregnancy and birth. The mother will donate a smaller portion of her salary or work for the federal government as long as possible before birth.
- At birth, both mother and father will be placed in a contractual agreement to pay designated moneys to the federal government for the financial support for the child until majority or at the death of the child.
- All child-rearing expenses will be the responsibility of the federal government.
This is a bare-bones description of the "child development program" (conception to adulthood) in which the responsibilities of the egg and sperm donators will be equally shared. Obviously there are a lot of details to be worked out and concerns to be addressed.
One obvious concern is the health of the woman incubator, realizing that she might die as a result of the pregnancy. In that case, I don't see at this point how the sperm donator could bear equal responsibility. One possibility is compulsory loss of fertility as a penalty for the death of the woman or perhaps a financial penalty for the loss of production.
Another concern is the protection of the women incubators from those men who would seek to destroy the lives of both the zygote/fetus and the woman incubator ... freeing him from his responsibilities in the matter.
Another concern is the fleeing of the sperm donator to another country leaving the woman incubator to bear the entire responsibility alone. These sperm donators could be sought and captured and forced to pay the price and extra penalties.
More details to follow ....
