Unwanted pregnancies

Marchers for Life were opposed to all abortions and want Roe v. Wade overturned by the Supreme Court, so that even women who become pregnant as a result of rape will be required to carry the pregnancy to term even at the risk of their own lives.

I suggest simply removing the possibility of an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy altogether. Simply castrate all males after they have reached puberty. Initially, all males aged 13 and above would be castrated, but after that mass castration the procedure would be routine for males at puberty. So that those women who do want to become pregnant can do so, male sperm will be harvested and made available upon request.

This solves the problem of unwanted pregnancies and will make abortion unnecessary (with one exception). To also solve the problem of rape, the simple solution is to go a small step further, and require male emasculation. That could be required of all males age 13 or over, or simply be required of any male convicted of rape or molestation.

I am quite certain that all pro-life people will find these solutions to be the best answer to the problems of unwanted pregnancies and rape, and therefore abortion. Every child born will be wanted, will be loved, housed and fed properly and not be subject to molestation. An abortion would be needed only when a woman will die should a pregnancy continue. It seems a win-win solution.
