I don't have the original I wrote in college but it kinda makes me want to redraft A Modest Proposal: for Men's Anatomical Responsibility to Their Offspring. The key point is that men should be required to provide anatomical gifts to their offspring until the children become adults. These anatomical gifts include any transplantable organ from kidneys, livers, and lungs, to blood, skin, corneas, and possibly even limbs as that becomes a viable surgical procedure. The increased time and gravity of the gift is balanced by the decreased likelihood, and by only taking organs and tissues not essential to life (while a pregnancy can in some cases cause heart failure). All exceptions (rape, incest, etc) are welcome to be made to whatever extent they are also made for women. Any additional thoughts?

these sort of laws usually aim to repress women but this time they went so far as to target men almost exclusively. I wonder if they forgot what their goal was. or perhaps the simpler explanation is that these legislators lack braincells
