Editor, The Beacon:

Florida’s six-week abortion ban is a good start, but how do we effectively enforce it? We might start by requiring that Florida fertile females (FFF) register with the state. Upon registering, each FFF is given a GPS ankle bracelet and a Baby Test Kit (BTK) to monitor menstrual cycles and drug use.

Each day, FFF would use their BTK and upload the results to Florida’s Baby Creation Center (BCC). Like glucose tests, the kit would prick a finger for a blood sample. Using the FFF’s DNA profile, blood samples prevent cheating by using another’s blood.

Tests would monitor the FFF’s menstrual cycle and check for the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. The blood sample could also test for tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs that might harm Florida’s embryos and fetuses.

Suggestions that Florida’s Highway Patrol set up roadblocks to prevent pregnant FFF from leaving Florida for an abortion would cause needless traffic delays. Ankle bracelets are much more humane and efficient. The bracelet’s GPS function can notify DeSantis’ special police units if an FFF is within 100 feet of an abortion clinic.

Fund this with a 100-percent tax on baby-prevention products like condoms, IUDs and birth-control pills. If not banned outright, impose a heavy tax on vasectomies, tubal ligation and hysterectomies. People unwilling to create Florida zygotes should pay for the BCC, BTKs and GPS ankle bracelets.
