I think I'll start a spinoff to the "Pro-Life" movement.

I'll call it "Pro-Fatherhood."

The central principle is this: every man will be legally required to contribute financially to every child he has ever sired, full stop. Since life "begins at fertilization", that implies that every man will be retroactively billed for expenses incurred by a woman in pregnancy before the child is tested to know that it is his.

Be a big hit, dontcha think?

Read an article about how the vast majority of R’s in Georgia voted for Walker, even though there was proof that he’d paid for a number of abortions. Lesson learned: it’s perfectly fine, in Republican world, for a man to make this decision for a woman. It’s when the woman makes this decision for herself that they get all “pro-life”. More proof of what this is really about.
And no amount of $$ can compensate for the physical risk of childbearing.

To get the "Pro-Life" people involved there should be a grift that will put you in a mansion, driving a Lambo, and eating Wagyu steaks.

I LOVE this scene from Legally Blond. I'd love to see reactions from the anti-abortion nut cases,,,,,
