A new source of reproductive freedom for women who are faced with
her rights being taken from her by the fascist bush regime. A deposit of $10,00 must be made by any man wishing to have sex with any consenting woman who is of legal child bearing age. This money is put in escrow in case a child is born from their sex act. This money is given back to the man, along with the child, if the woman does not wish to raise the child. Every single sex act must be accompanied by this $10,000 deposit. It is not refundable (except in the former case)and is held in a special "privatized account" and can only be used to complete educational pauses, for medical problems and to supplement career time lapses encountered by the woman because of pregnancy. This will satisfy the antichoicers and the pope, not to mention the current fascist ("woman, your body is mine") bushie regime. I still have some kinks to work out like not actually wanting to be pregnant at all even if I get to give the man the baby, but all in all, I think it is a winner.

1. It will never work
Prostitutes are a lot cheaper. You'll just end up with a lot of frustrated women.

3. Postitutes are always cheaper and less involved than real love and
committment. But since you haven't heard, I will remind you that sex is for reprductive purposes only.

8. On a similar line, should be harder to get married and easier to divorce
Make pre-marital counseling mandatory and pay $30,000 to the courts to get married, and make divorce easier and less costly. Would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people (financial and emotional).

11. That's right. We wouldn't have to worry about what constitutes marriage.
We would let the counselors decide who is a marriable couple and if they stay married until they are 80 or one dies then they can have the money back or it goes into their estate.

13. Just make it harder to get married and easier to divorce.
I also think people should get parenting classes before getting pregnant. I know I know I know there is no way to do this in any sort of way without imposing any specific way of being on anyone, just a rhetorical desire.
