Btw, is this Gene Simmons under the alias TrivialPursuit?

Seriously, (1) I'm assuming that DeSantis doesn't want the government to be accused of promoting sexual permissiveness.  Plus, what if the BC fails?  (2) If such a thing could be proven, then the government could possibly be legally responsible for the birth and support of the child up to some certain age.  there are probably a ton of potential legal entanglements involved here that i'm not even aware of.

I believe 1.  That's a dumb reason to refuse to prevent abortion, but it is a reason people like DeSantis have resorted to in the past.

But 2 is ludicrous. The government is already responsible for kids the mom didn't want anyhow.

Well, if they are already responsible for unwanted births that they weren't even involved with creating, then why is it ludicrous that they would be on the hook legally for a policy that they actively contribute to that then fails and causes unintended results?
