An Ohio lawmaker proposed legislation this week that would allow a woman to sue a man for getting her pregnant whether the sexual encounter was consensual or not.
Senator Tina Maharath, a Democrat, proposed the bill following the Supreme Court’s recent decision to repeal Roe v. Wade. That triggered a bill in Ohio that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
According to Insider, Maharath’s proposed bill says that “any person may bring a civil action against another person who either causes the person to have an unintended pregnancy regardless of the circumstances or aids or abets any other person in causing the person to have an unintended pregnancy, regardless of the circumstances.”
Insider said Maharath’s bill calls for someone who causes a pregnancy to “pay damages of not less than $5,000, as well as court costs and attorney fees.”
“The average cost of giving birth in our state is over $15,000 and can rise substantially if there are complications,” Maharath said. “Too often, this cost is solely the mother’s to bear, especially in the case of an unintended pregnancy. However, the father shares equal responsibility for the pregnancy and it is only right that he pays equally for it.”
And the bill has reportedly gained support from some conservative Christians in the state.
Insider said that the President of Ohio’s Center for Christian Virtue, Aaron Baer, said the bill will help end “hook-up culture” and will also hold “deadbeat dads” accountable.

If it is consensual—no lawsuit allowed.
“a civil action against another person who either causes the person to have an unintended pregnancy regardless of the circumstances”…….they already have one, It’s called child support.
Perhaps the laws should be changed that no woman can abort without the consent of the man whose DNA’s is half the potential child’s. Problem is that many of these women are so loose with their offerings that they are unable to tell who the father is without a DNA test. When the horse gets let out of the barn, you bring it back home, You don’t kill it. But emotionally driven government co-dependent women have very little horse sense. They seek the government to do what they should have accomplished themselves,,,in SELF-Governing. Abortion is a poor substitution for birth control, which is what it is now being used for with the taxpayers paying the cost in money, and the innocent babies paying the cost with their lives.
ANd with how sharked up the courts are, even if she DID get a DNA test to prove person A was not the father, HE CAN STILL BE FORCED to continue paying child support for 18 years…
More insanity from the Democrat Party cult.
And the bill has reportedly gained support from some conservative Christians in the state.

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Try following the 10 Commandments of God.
