re: If Alabama was actually serious about lowering abortions

I agree 100% with every point except

quote:

---

Pass mandatory paid maternity and paternity leave

-Expand Medicaid so low income women feel confident in their ability to receive medical care

I think that passing mandatory paid leave would hurt more than it helps plus it goes against free market principles.

If abortion is going to be a thing I think a man should be able to pay the equivalent of an abortion to the mother and then peace out with no legal ramifications. If a woman is able to escape all responsibility for the child with no say from the man then the man should be able to do the same thing.

I think one of the reasons we have such a high out of wedlock birth rate is that unwed pregnancy no longer has a lot of the negative. The government now takes care of single mothers and fathers.
