Are you postulating that women aren't as strong as men and are. and thus, more prone to being victims?
That doesn't sound very progressive or enlightened of you.
Since abortion is legal, the easy solution is to mandate that women are not entitled to any child support if they get pregnant and not married.

Great idea! Lets punish the children! We could do what China did and make illegitimate people, with no civil rights.

Well, if you're gay isn't this discussion sort of like a vegan participating in an argument about the proper camoflague to wear for deer hunting?

Ummm.. ya.. the first gang rape I remember hearing about was in the early 70s. There was a group of bikers that lived in the house up the street from my grandma's. I was constantly being warned to stay away from them when we visited. One summer, while we were visiting, well.. there were no more gang living up the street. A whole mess of cop cars and the bikers hauled off to jail..
There wasn't even many black folks living in that city, let alone islamic or indian.

Personal responsibility.
If you are a woman and you engage in an act that might produce a child, you are responsible.
If you are a man and you engage in an act that might produce a child, you are responsible.
Having the state mandate the condition of your own body is repulsive and sick.
For far too long, the public debate around abortion, contraception and related reproductive matters has thrust government into the center of restrictions on the bodily autonomy of women and girls.
Rarely is there a meaningful dialogue around public policy focusing on the personal responsibility of cisgender men in this sphere.
The rights of cisgender men have always been paramount in our society with little focus on their
responsibility as inseminators to change their behaviors for the good of their partners, families, and society at large.
As we head toward climax on this heated discourse around this delicate matter, we should come together to address it with surgical precision. We must also commit to mending the social fabric being sliced up by bitter acrimony.
In order to improve public health outcomes and release sweet justice into our households and bedrooms, we must wrap our love of individual liberty in the moral imperative of greater personal responsibility and acknowledge men’s essential role in procreation.
Therefore, I will be introducing legislation that will require all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within 6 weeks from having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first.
Further, this legislation will allow Pennsylvanians to take civil action for unwanted pregnancies against inseminators who wrongfully conceive a child with them.
This legislation will also empower Pennsylvanians to enforce this new law by offering a $10,000 reward for reporting to the proper authorities those scofflaws who have not complied with this statute within the allotted timeframe.
As long as state legislatures continue to restrict the reproductive rights of cis women, trans men and non-binary people, there should be laws that address the responsibility of men who impregnate them. Thus, my bill will also codify “wrongful conception” to include when a person has demonstrated negligence toward preventing conception during intercourse
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!
In the spirit of this popular axiom, I encourage my colleagues to take a gander at this forthcoming bill that seeks to end this egregiously gendered double standard for the benefit of all individuals, our families and our great commonwealth.

It's not a joke, but it is part and parcel of the clown world we now live in. Rep. Christopher Rabb thinks men aka "inseminators" should be sterilized so they can do no harm by impregnating anyone against their will.

Christopher M. Rabb
I'm all for holding people responsible for being irresponsible or criminal. If you're a rapist or child molester, sterilization isn't extreme enough. For everyone else, it takes two consenting people to produce a pregnancy. This sounds more like the beginnings of another eugenics or population reduction scheme than it does a way to hold "inseminators" responsible for their actions. In case Mr. Rabb isn't up on his history, this was tried before in this country. It was disgusting then and it's disgusting now.
Send in the clowns...

You want to murder them, so I wouldn't be talking.
Of course this proposed law is a lot worse.

Personal responsibility is right.
People don't hear "life isn't fair" anymore from their parents. That's a problem
