16. I have been saying this for years. If you force a women to have a baby. Then ante up.

Starting on day one pay all expenses for the child and mother for the first two years.

So the mom can be a stay at home mom and bond with the child.

Then from two until HS graduation ALL expenses including healthcare, food, clothing, recreational budget.

After HS graduation the state will continue to pay for a 4-year degree at a college or tech school.

Then the state shall pay until either the child (adult) gets a full-time job or reaches the age of 25.

The short version full financial responsibility from birth until age 25.

I would add this to your title. "the right isn't pro-life, they are pro-fetus" and the right uses the anti-abortion meme to get conservative voters to turn out to vote year after year.

Without God, Gays, Guns and anti-abortion issues on ballots, the voter numbers would be significantly lower. IMHO
