A Modest Proposal

 

Assuming folks have heard the news from Texas, criminalizing abortion. What gets me is that nowadays the father could easily BE accountable (DNA tests!) also, but this is never considered.  

I propose some percentage of the father's income for the mother and child, by law, at least.
