We can end the great “culture war” over abortion with a compromise. Part one is a universal ban on abortion. Part two is a “Mandatory Motherhood Fund.” All 1973 forward antiabortion organizations and people of any kind will be taxed. All politically active people in federal state, and local political parties, advocacy groups think tanks, and churches will be taxed. Any person who has publicly endorsed the “pro-life” position in any way; people who have financially supported the”pro-life’ agenda in any way will be taxed. All women forced to carry babies to birth will be cared for and compensated for expenses and lost income from the fund. Any woman whose health is adversely affected’ or dies from forced birth will be compensated from the Mandatory Motherhood Fund.
Part three is the adoption list. All politically active people, those in antiabortion groups, state, federal , and local officials who supported antiabortion laws of any kind, church personnel who supported antiabortion laws, any person who publicly supported the “pro-life” position in any way, people who financially supported the “pro-life” agenda will be put on the adoption list. Any time a baby is born because of the Mandatory Motherhood program, people at the top of the list will be required to adopt that child, and raise it to age 18, age 26 if the child wants college or job training.
If funding for the Mandatory Motherhood program runs out, abortions instantly become legal. If the list of people required to adopt unwanted babies runs out, abortions instantly become legal. If funding for the “social safety net” is not adequately funded, abortions instantly become legal. The “safety net” includes health, public education, Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, child day care, universal pre-K for age 3 up – all the public services a modern civilized developed nation provides for its people.
The genius of this program is that it gives “pro-life: people a public chance to demonstrate how very much they love born babies and children.
