What about offering free sterilization for men and women in every state

[@bpmosby]

That will be the next one. Truly pathetic.

[@Brajadelatribudeephraine]

Exactly

[@timfriday9106]

Honestly...free vasectomies' and hysterectomies for people who don't want children, would be fantastic. Right now...both men and women(but mostly women) find it incredibly difficult to get a vasectomy or hysterectomy even when they have money for it. But, that would be against 'gods law' also...because they WANT women to have children...so they have to stay home...thats why they make sure women get paid less and thats why they make sure that daycare is so difficult to obtain and expensive....abortion has never been about safeguarding life...and has always about controlling women.

The only responsibility that should apply to school is to stop the violence. Schools called in Police and national Guard under the pressure from politicians like Governor Abbott and Speaker Johnson on peaceful protesters. Which got thrown out in courts and Police Chief’s and other authorities said they were peaceful protesters. Then when a counter group came on the scene neither the school security acted and or called the police.

[@ramonar6180]

Infant viability is early than it used to be. My great nephew weighed 1 lb 4ozs. He’s now 20 years old & 6 ft tall. Not all babies are as lucky, his twin didn't live. Some babies have very serious problems that would mean many surgeries & lifelong problems. Some parents can't deal with a disabled child. It's cruel to the child to be seriously ill who could live for years & they can't say they don’t want surgery & can never live a normal life.
