"Your husband's bastards will be able to go after your children's inheritance"
"Your son's mistake will be able to get child support so that your son will never be able to marry a decent christian girl and have children within his marriage"
I'm trying to shake the complacency of GOP women who think this won't harm them because they can just fly off somewhere to care for their little inconvenience. So they need to realize its not just themselves they have to worry about...its the threats to their cozy little existence that might make them allies.

(63,221 posts)We have to find a way to show them how they will suffer too. Because they can't just force women to give birth to children they don't want and can't afford to raise without providing some kind of support system. Either the state takes care of these children or they force the birth fathers to do it and a lot of men aren't going to be very happy about that.
The money has to come from somewhere. I think they have no idea what kind of shit-show they are going to be looking at. If women are forced to give birth, they are going to go after the man who got them pregnant for support, even if he happens to be a married, republican politician or politician's son.

Racism is one of the main drivers of the anti-abortion movement.
