đĽ FATHERS PAY, GOVERNMENT REIGNS, FAMILY LOSES đĽ
The âSupporting Healthy Pregnancy Actâ Explained
So hereâs the latest from Iowa: Rep. Ashley Hinson wants dads to fork over AT LEAST 50% of pregnancy medical costs if the mother requests it. Sounds fair? Buckle up. This oneâs a doozy.
đ¸ YOU PAY⌠YOU DONâT PLAY
Fathers get the checkbook, thatâs it. No voice. No custody rights. No say in medical decisions.
đ Financially liable â
Legally powerless â
Meanwhile, the motherâand the government enforcing the billâcalls the shots. Congrats, Dad: You are the worldâs first legally mandated ATM.
đ MARRIED? YOUâRE ALREADY ON THE HOOK
If youâre hitched, the law is basically:
âThanks for being married⌠oh, and by the way, we might make you pay extra anyway.â
This isnât pro-family. Itâs about non-marital pregnancies, where the state swoops in after the fact instead of encouraging commitment before the fact.
âď¸ ASYMMETRY GALORE
Picture this:
Woman A gets pregnant with Man A.
Woman A demands he pay expenses.
Woman A moves on to Man B.
Man A? Legally bound to pay, no recourse, no control.
Meanwhile, the government acts as referee, accountant, and enforcer.
And âreasonable expensesâ? Totally undefined. Dads are left guessing how much cash to hand over.
đď¸ GOVERNMENT AS SURROGATE SPOUSE
Instead of promoting pair-bonding and shared responsibility, the law whispers:
âWhy bother with commitment when Uncle Sam will cover your back?â
đĄ The real lesson: this bill encourages women to marry the government, not a man. The actual father? Left holding the bag.
đą THE TRUE PRO-FAMILY SOLUTION
A genuinely pro-family approach would:
â Reward commitment before conception
â Encourage women to select responsible partners
â Keep the state out of the bedroom⌠and the checkbook
Societyânot the governmentâshould foster mutual responsibility, foresight, and healthy pair-bonding. Thatâs the only way to avoid turning fathers into financial automatons.
â ď¸ BOTTOM LINE
The Iowa bill looks shiny on paper, but itâs really:
đ Asymmetrical
đ Vague
đ Government overreach disguised as âfamily supportâ
Real pro-family action? Encourage commitment, reward responsibility, and leave the state out of the bedroom.
đĽ ULTRA EXTREME ULTRA ABSURD POCKET-FOB EDITION CHECKLIST⢠đĽ
đ¸ Dad = ATM: Pays AT LEAST 50% â , gets ZERO rights â
đ Marriage? Already paying⌠now maybe pay extra anyway!
âď¸ Asymmetry Alert: Woman can move on. Dad still pays. Govt enforces.
đľď¸ââď¸ âReasonableâ Expenses?â Mystery box: guess & pay. đ˛
đď¸ State = Surrogate Spouse: Uncle Sam > Father.
đą True Pro-Family? Reward commitment BEFORE conception. Encourage mutual responsibility.
đ Bottom Line: Asymmetry â Vague â Govt Overreach â
đĽ Women, know your worth. Men, demand mutual respect. No checkbook marriages. đŞ
