Anti-choice churches should be taxed for babies

-

Let’s cut to the chase on anti-abortion laws. First, an unwanted pregnancy automatica­lly punishes the mother whether she aborts or is forced to keep the fetus full term.

Second, the male planting his seed must also be punished. A vasectomy would prevent him from future ungodly situations. Furthermor­e, government should require him to pay a portion of the pregnant mother’s care before the child’s birth, and for the mother and child’s care for two years thereafter.

Third, political party members who play God by passing such anti-abortion laws ought to also pass laws giving payments to help the mother they force to carry the fetus, so the unwanted fetus and child will properly develop during that same time.

Fourth, those same politician­s must raise enough extra taxes to care for expectant mothers and children during that time.

Finally, church congregati­ons who insisted on those anti-abortion laws, ought to be taxed that amount equal to what the government pays to care for the pregnant mother and child during that time.

Why don’t those who ram religious laws into their government policies trust God to enforce His own laws?

Why don’t they direct all their efforts and money to discover and eliminate the reason(s) every abortion was even considered?

Is God waiting for His own Final Judgment Day to find out if anti-abortionis­ts personally helped pregnant mothers deal with such unwanted pregnancie­s by obeying His Golden Rule law?
