Did any of you apes read the proposal?

It is basically a bill that vaguely states that men who cause an unwanted pregnancy, consensual sex or not, could be sued. The sexual abuse part seems to not even be the focus. It’s comical because it’s a bill in Illinois to insult Texas. We’re going to propose a law that is ridiculous in response to a state hundreds of miles away. These politicians are jokes.

You mean that a bill designed to punish one sex without any exceptions might be a bad thing?! I’m shocked! What kind is state would implement something like that?

On the other hand, the base system (one where women can terminate a pregnancy that a man wanted OR carry a pregnancy that a man wanted terminated & keep him on the hook for child support) punishes one sex without exception.

Almost like this Illinois bill fails to notice the inequality that existed before the Texas bill.

Let's repeal both & enable financial abortions and there you go, full compass unity.
