Choice has taken on a whole new meaning for the left. Pregnant women can choose abortion but crisis pregnancy centers are out. Abstinence used to be a four-letter word and now it’s a moral imperative: abortion all the time everywhere or sex strikes. And now a Dem in Ohio wants to turn that pregnancy into a victim class.
Sen. Tina Maharath (D-Canal Winchester) said her bill would allow anyone who becomes pregnant to file a civil suit against the person who impregnated them — even if it happened as a result of consensual sex.
“Regardless of the circumstances. I felt it was important to have that vague language due to the fact that abortion is now banned here in the state of Ohio,” Maharath said.
Maharath’s bill would allow the court could order a person who it determines causes a pregnancy to pay damages of not less than $5000 plus court costs and attorney fees.
The odds of this bill getting anywhere are slim but that’s probably not the point. Maharath -who is the Democrat State Senator of a gerrymandered district in Columbus (pictured above), may have opened another pandora’s box. Getting pregnant under any circumstance is no longer your fault and you should be able to sue.
Talk about an interesting journey. Support sex before marriage (free love/physical pleasure). Insist on access (at taxpayer expense) to pregnancy prevention (the Pill, IUDs, Condoms – prevents babies). Demand taxpayer-funded abortion (kill babies). Create a culture of post-coital revocation of consent and claim you were raped (likely to lead to less consensual sex). Refuse to have sex absent conception to birth abortion from sea to rising sea. Make women who get pregnant from consensual sex a victim class.
You are no longer responsible for things you choose to do. Is that the new choice argument? You can choose to have unprotected sex and if you get pregnant that’s the man’s fault. Or maybe society is to blame?
This is not a new idea. Child support comes to mind. But why only sue for 5000.00?
Probably to pay for the cost of travel and treatment to get an abortion if I had to guess. But think about the effect. Again, the bill has no chance but the idea does, so consider what it really says.
If you can afford the 5k have all the consensual sex you can afford. If not, don’t or you might get blindsided with a lawsuit you can’t afford. And this is interesting. It would have the most impact on low-income minorities which history tells us have been the target of Progressive social engineering for at least a century. The people for whom free love is an opiate in a world of government dependence with little else with which to look forward. And Tina Maharath is a minority woman.
Just an observation.
And wouldn’t access to anytime abortion (and the laundromat of tax dollars to Dem campaigns) be easier for everyone?
