Just meant that if we are going to force a woman to bear a child she doesn't want, we should also be prepared to force the father to support that child, or if the father is unable to do that, we should provide at least the level of support that could have been expected from the father. If we force women to bear children they don't want, we'd better do a whole lot more than that. We'd better each plan to put an addition on the house and set another place at the table. Either that or develop a lie-detector chip that we implant in each boy when he reaches puberty. Or chastity belts for our girls. Karen

Just meant that if we are going to force a woman (country) to bear (support) a child (a murderer) she (it) doesn't want (capital punishment), we should also be prepared to force the father (murderer) to support that child (the family of the murdered), or if the father (murderer) is unable to do that, we (the country) should provide at least the level of support that could have been expected from the father (murderer). Seems only fair. I like your argument so I just adopted it for capital punishment.
