We the undersigned call upon legislators to write legislation which would give every pregnant female a way to ensure that nobody tries to force her get an abortion.
This is done by giving her the option to certify the debts of prenatal and postnatal support, which are owed to her offspring, so that if anybody was to kill the creditor (her offspring), the debts would not be forgiven, but would instead be converted into reimbursement for wrongful death, payable to the caretaker(s) of the child(ren) specified on the certificate of creditorship, or if none are specified, then to the caretakers of children known by the state to be in need.
By exercising the option, she would disincentivize forced abortion, thereby preventing it from happening. A 2022 Harvard study shows that homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant females. Such homicides, which are forced abortions of the most violent kind, can be prevented through this legislation. Thanks to advancements in DNA science, every pregnant female is now able to submit proof of paternity long before she begins to show. That enables her to exercise the option safely.
Since forced abortion is the violation of a woman's right to choose life, it is fitting that this legislation be called the Right to Choose Life Act.
