- Heh?! I like this, mistaken-conception insurance. You're in good hands with
- All State. Both men and women pay for the insurance, and then a claims
- adjuster gets to decide compensation after reviewing the fault or no-fault
- basis of the accident. The potential mother's wishes on the dispensation of
- the accident will be considered, of course, as will the amount of personal
- responsibility that both parties are willing to take for future financial
- costs when it comes to assessing insurance rates for each party in the
- future.

- I can hear it now, heavy breathing, fumbling sound of clothing being
- undone, and then a whispered - uh honey have you got protection - Well of
- course dear, Trojan and State Farm, I've got coverage through age 18 in case
- you don't want to get an abortion. Of course our rates may go up but what the
- hell, can't live life without a little bit of risk. Isn't that what
- insurance is for?
