Mandatory Adoption Lottery.

Last edited Sat Sep 4, 2021, 06:02 PM - Edit history (1)

Yep, I have said this for years and years regarding the anti-choice, forced birthers: The following law IMO should be passed in any state that passes a law which in any manner obstructs a woman's reproductive rights viz those rights found in Roe v. Wade:

"The Mandatory Adoption Lottery Statute: Anyone who opposes a woman's right to choose shall (mandatory language) register his/her/their choice to so act in the State Mandated Adoption Lottery as to children who are eligible to be adopted, but who have not found an adopting parent or parents. Until such time as the child surrendered for adoption has been adopted and/or reaches the age of majority, the Adoption Lottery winner shall pay for any and all expenses of the child, including but not limited state ordered child support, medical expenses -- including dental, orthodontics, eyeglasses (and vision testing), hearing aids (if necessary and hearing testing), education such as tutors, regular extracurricular activities, pet care if the child choose to have a pet, and any other expense and/or cost which is reasonable and necessary to the well-being of the child. If the child is a 'special needs' child, all additional expenses of such a child shall also solely be borne by the Adoption Lottery winner. As to said 'special needs' child, the expenses of the child shall continue past age of majority until the child is adopted or dies."

The anti-choicer, forced-birthers want to protect fetuses...let's make them protect the fetus after he or she becomes a living, breathing child with the costs of raising and supporting that child. They hate people on welfare? OK, this let's the also step up and reduce welfare costs for children who were surrendered for adoption and are wards of the state.

Anti-choice, Forced-birthers: Fuck 'em for their hatred of both women and the children they force them to bare.

EDIT: Sorry I was unclear. The forced birthed does not get custody. They oay child support to the state.

Yeah weaponizing kids is not a great idea. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2021 #2
I would rethink that idea to some degree... 2naSalit Sep 2021 #4

Why make it a lottery - Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #12
Because instead of a tax, it would be a direct court order for a specific child. Scottie Mom Sep 2021 #13

Given the incredible number of pedophiles in their ranks. Maybe just make them pay for the support and upbringing of the child by either the mother or some qualified and vetted couple. I wouldn't trust those morally depraved people to be around children.

The people who are enemies of the sacred civil, human, and Constitutional rights of innocent women, are people who should never be allowed to be near children at all. Ever.

That way, if the payments were not made, the enforcement of the order could be wage garnishments or even jail time for contempt.
