These terms are acceptable to us.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Earlier in July, an Ohio Democratic State Senator thought she was taking a courageous stand against the Supreme Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade.

She introduced a bill which would allow pregnant women to file civil lawsuits against the men who got them pregnant.

The men could then be on the hook for up to $5,000 in damages. The senator,

an outspoken abortion supporter, said she wrote the bill to counteract Ohio's, quote,

draconian abortion restrictions. However, instead of making a statement for abortion, the bill's

more of a solution for abortion and an endorsement of marriage. After all, the idea that men

should take responsibility

for the babies they make, that's not revolutionary, at least it shouldn't be. In a Christian vision,

sex and babies go together. It shouldn't be separated. So God established a way to hold them together.

Cultures around the world call this marriage. In fact, $5,000, that's a pretty sad settlement.

It certainly won't pay for a baby,

much less a wedding budget. But hey, if lawmakers want to disincentivize men abandoning their children,

I'm all for it. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
