How about requiring women who want to give birth to a child watch a video?

[RB TexLa]

Use a little background info on the parent and create a quick video of a child that looks like them involved in whatever based on the parent's history. Could be a video of the future daughter face down in her own vomit on drugs, a son chainsawing a family to death, a teenage daughter about to give birth saying to her parents not to worry she'll go back and finish the 9th grade, the child getting their fist swastika tattoo, or any number of things. After watching the required video there would be brochures about adoption and abortion given out.

1. Do you want to be legally required to watch videos other people think you should watch?

2. sounds more like RW scare tactics than education

to me, anyway........

3. What if the mother is blind and deaf.

4. Nobody got it.

Ok, *I* got it. But at least 2 others didn't.


This is in response to those who'd like to force a teen incest/rape victim to watch their "brain-sucked-out-whilst-it's-still-in the-womb" homemade slasher-flicks before they can get medical relief.


Make all prospective mothers watch "Horror of Childbirth". I think some interspersed shots of ripped vaginae and "crowning" might also be effective.

11. And others aren't, but are disingenuous.

They know full well the OP was sarcasm.

8. you're right - i hadn't heard of that, so the OP was out of context for me.......

10. Certain conservative jurisdictions

have mandated "informational" videos depicting the medical procedures of abortion to anyone requesting one.

It's a horror show intended to frighten and disgust young impressionable women. It's a bully-tactic to deter women from exercising their rights.

6. Can we stop requiring videos for people?

7. History is made

I finally agree with one of your OPs

9. Free Babies?

Aren't babies free? What does it cost - in dollars - to create a baby?

And it's fun to do, right? There's yer video. Fun and free. Blockbuster..!!
