Instead of introducing pointless "every sperm is sacred legislation," introduce a bill—a Pro-Birth Accountability Act—like Sen. Mia McLeod introduced in S. Carolina in 2019.
I call it a "F**k You, Pay Me" bill.
If states are going to force people to give birth, then states should pay for it.

They don't have any money so they leech off the Blue States.
If we want to make them change, we need to stop propping up their ruling class on our dime.
If the country cannot GUARANTEE a child a good education, food & shelter, a safe environment, a safe neighborhood to live in, health care, and a decent life, then they should not be able to force a child to be born.
If the GOP wants to force birth, they need to provide those things first.
✅reasonable living, legal, medical, psychological and psychiatric expenses directly related to prenatal, intrapartal, and postpartal periods;
✅the child's health care (including vision and dental) until age 18;
✅automatic eligibility for SNAP, TANF, and WIC with no reduction in benefits until the child is 18;
✅if the pregnant person becomes disabled as a result of the pregnancy, all related costs forever;
✅college;
✅automatic eligibility to participate in a program that would pair a pregnant person with a specially trained nurse to provide home visits from early pregnancy through the child’s SECOND BIRTHDAY. (‼️‼️‼️)

Rep. McLeod & her Dem counterpart in Miss. both know the legislation won't be enacted, but it's good to see them making the forced-birthers uncomfortable.
I'd love to see McLeod's legislation enacted in SC & all states with abortion bans/ restrictions.
