Innovation & Reality
Insanity Is Arguing the Same Weak Abortion Points.
Use a new, more effective approach.
The protest signs say, “My Body, My Choice” & “Privacy” plus many others listed in the first reference. Interesting, emotional, but the same old thing. Nobody’s listening out of boredom! Similar arguments were used in legislatures and courts. All ignored. Here are three new points. One should be very powerful in court.
Note to reader: all in-text links are also available at the bottom in References.
13th amendment
A definition. Slavery: coercive means to compel someone to work.
13th amendment, Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Children, especially pregnancy and babies, require an immense amount of work. If the woman has no choice, or near-impossible limitations, it is slavery per definition, though not the usual slave stereotype.
The woman’s choices are abortion, abandonment, and all of the work. Men can choose how much they will participate. Many just leave.
Overturning Roe-v-Wade promotes slavery! That’s a much more powerful legal point than the privacy argument.
Good programs work, bad ones don’t
A complete ban won’t work, and neither will unrestricted abortions, so fix things to work the best way possible.
States like Texas have already passed laws legalizing extortion, promoting torture, redefining “pregnancy” so that virgins can be pregnant, and deceptively appearing to allow abortions. The deception is due to an impossible time frame that includes weeks before pregnancy occurs.
Many other states are even worse. Some are even attempting to prevent interstate travel and are trying to block the US mail.
The court could have ruled a reasonable cutoff date to prevent chaos but didn’t. My Mississippi article shows how it would have been so simple to fix everything at once.
Overturning Roe-v-Wade allows states to pass laws that would be criminal in any other circumstances other than abortion!
Force men to take SOME responsibility
Women take all the risks with sex. Men take none.
Any sperm provider, except a sperm donor through a government-certified agency, would pay 10% of their income for 18 years. The sperm provider could be the husband, boyfriend, rapist, or a one-night stand, never to be seen by the woman again.
DNA at birth immediately identifies the sperm provider. Also, the sperm provider could be identified during an abortion. The sperm provider would pay even if the woman got an abortion or had a miscarriage. The Recording DNA article in References provides the details, restrictions and safeguards.
The idea of collecting DNA in the delivery room at birth, in addition to footprints, sounds radical, but something is radical only when it first appears. Once it is ingrained in society, it is no longer radical. It’s time to start thinking about it, discussing it, and writing about the possibilities.
In the stereotypes, real men take responsibility for their actions.
Overturning Roe-v-Wade provides men with the means to easily avoid responsibility!
Conclusion
Unfortunately, signs, protests, and articles don’t have any impact in court or on politicians. They are the same thing over and over. I can see eyes glaze over and hear standard retorts where the speaker doesn’t even have to think.
The points presented here are new and deserve wide discussion.
I sent each Justice my justification for citing the 13th amendment, but I am not a lawyer and it wasn’t presented formally in court. So, they ignored it.
It will take another lawyer, another case, and months or years to repair the damage done by the current crop of fanatics living in the 18th century.
