I’m wondering if it might be a good idea to propose a law that makes it illegal for a man to force his sperm on a woman who doesn’t want to get pregnant. We could call it reckless endangerment because of all the physical damage and potential death a woman faces due to pregnancy. Agreeing to sex does not equal agreement to pregnancy, just as eating brownies doesn’t equate to agreeing to eating marijuana in the brownies. It should be noted that women who have gone to prison for being drug addicted while pregnant convicted of "child endangerment" were probably impregnated by a man who KNEW that she was an addict, but gave her his sperm anyway. Wouldn't he also be guilty of child endangerment? And yet he is never prosecuted for such an offense. And what about men who engage in "stealthing"? Shouldn't that be a felony? Just a thought. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/stealthing-victims-describe-partners-removing-condoms-during-sex-without-consent-n752681

Of course Republicans can't see the irony in talking about enslaved women.

"Students for Life... said in a statement, “The corrupt partnership between human and sex traffickers with the abortion industry is well known.”"

Sooo... Are they saying sex trafficking victims should be forced to have their rapists' babies?! What in the living fuck is wrong with these people?
