Does abortion get the men OUT of child support? WTF?


GOP WV Rep. Calls For Child Support Ban Because Making Men Pay Could 'Encourage' Abortion
1659542181630.png

Chris Pritt, a Republican who serves as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates from the 36th district, was harshly criticized after he suggested men should not have to pay child support because forcing men to support their children could "encourage" women to have abortions.

In fact, Pritt went so far as to suggest the practice of paying child support should be banned altogether. Oddly, he said it would be necessary to "enact the Second Amendment here" to discourage anyone who might seek an abortion.
Pritt's remarks are the latest brazen suggestion from an empowered conservative in the weeks since the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision that once protected a person's right to choose reproductive healthcare without excessive government restriction.

You can hear what Pritt said in the video below.

"If she carries through with the pregnancy, he's going to have, possibly, some sort of child support obligation. And, so, what he wants to do is, he wants to — in a sense — encourage her to go and find a way for her to get an abortion."

"Because he knows that a certain individual — if he has any kind of familiarity with her, he knows that she might be of such a state of mind, she must be in such a vulnerable position that it's not worth everything that he's going to put me through to carry this pregnancy forward."

"It's going to be easier, it's going to be better, for me to just go and terminate this 'life.' So she goes over to Virginia or to some other state where she goes and gets the abortion."

"So, I think that's a really clear possibility if we enact the Second Amendment here, I don't want to be doing anything that is encouraging thugs to go and get an abortion."

Wow. They want to ban abortion and absolve men from any responsibility for getting women pregnant...makes zero logical sense, but it ensures single women and children will be stuck in poverty. Insane, but not surprising.



Pritt later attempted to clarify his remarks, saying that his speech "was in response to an amendment allowing men to file pre-birth paternity actions" and that he never claimed men should not have to pay child support.
He added that he has "personally known of instances where abortions were done after threats of a custody fight" though he did not offer actual evidence.

I will say it sounded to me more like he said "folks" than "thugs".
And in regards to his clarification... if he wasn't arguing against child support, I'm not really sure exactly what he was trying to get across here.

If what he was trying to say is that potentially having to pay child-support might tend to make men more pro-choice it would at least make sense.

Going with the every accusation is a confession wager, when it comes to Republicans, is never a bad gamble.

Looking at that picture:
Our douche of the hour looks like Egghead from the Batman files.
Mr. Anderson is sleeping. Probably eating a steak and pulling a Judas on his constituents.
Kelly is dressed like he is about to declare "The beaches are open!"
Santa is adding Egghead to the naughty list.

All these old leaden brained idiots running government. What could possibly go wrong.

Probably need to read the amendment he was referring to. I'm guessing the second amendment to whatever batshit crazy bill they were debating.

Sounds like it was an amendment to allow the father to flight for custody before the child is born. So what he was saying was that a father could do that in bad faith, hoping to encourage her to get an abortion instead of having to deal with the father on custody. The second amendment he was referring to was an amendment to the bill, not the right to bear arms.

I don't agree with the guy, but this is exactly why politics in the US is so fucked up, everything is pulled out of context and then a straw man is attacked.

I don't think he ever said anything about eliminating child support, just making impossible for the father to fight for custody until birth.

Yes. If a woman has an abortion, the man doesn't pay child support, that is how it works.

You should really get better sources he never said anything about banning child support.

Yeah, I did pick that up when I was trying to figure out what he was getting at (regarding the second amendment).

Yes, because rapists always carry ovulation test kits with them. Everyone knows this………

So you don't understand how pregnancy occurs and lack the ability to see how that relates to overturning Roe vs Wade. I know this because that's what your post implies.

It all makes sense when you realize he said it to try to help out his bisexual lover who clearly got somebody pregnant.
