Texas. Where a corpse has more rights than a woman. And this is only the beginning. Wait till women start dying of ectopic pregnancies.

Most late term abortions are planned and wanted babies that will be born severely disabled with conditions that are incompatible with life. No one wants to have a baby and watch it suffer before it dies. Women are going to die before of this law.

In 1997, the head of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers admitted that partial-birth abortion, a heinous and brutal type of late-term abortion, actually wasn’t being committed only in rare cases. A report by the LA Times stated (emphasis added):

The abortion rights folks know it, the anti-abortion folks know it and so, probably, does everyone else.” So spoke Ron Fitzsimmons, executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, in an interview about the facts of partial-birth abortion, whereby a living child is pulled from its mother until all but the head is delivered. A scissors is plunged into the skull, a tube inserted and the brains suctioned out. The now-dead infant is then delivered. Partial-birth abortion, Fitzsimmons now says, is performed 3,000 to 5,000 times a year, most often on the healthy mothers of healthy babies.

Fitzsimmons told Nightline, “The majority of these procedures are performed… on healthy women and healthy fetuses….Women come in at that point unfortunately, for whatever reason, seeking abortion services. We estimate that approximately 3,000 to 5,000 are performed in the United States on an annual basis.” The Rome News-Tribune from 1997 (pictured below) states that Fitzimmons “said he lied when he said that… partial-birth abortions are performed rarely and only to save the mother’s life or to abort malformed fetuses.”

Where's your proof of that?

OP:

The Handmaids Tale faction of the Republican Party has been around for a long time. The Religious Right started up in the late 1970s.

She’s been arrested for murder.

Are women that have miscarriages going to have to prove that it was a spontaneous natural abortion or run the risk of being charged for murder for self inducing?

Is that where this is headed?

Not attempting a slippery slope fallacy, but this is a terrible precedent, and all women of child bearing age should be horrified.

There is no information in the article other than "woman has been arrested."

There is nothing to comment on. I'm guessing you didn't read the article.

there are no details about this story reported so far. posters need to wait for facts on what happened and what the circumstances were before using dramatic, inflammatory rhetoric to support their positions.

OMG!

It is hilarious when liberals take some bizarre leftist wet dream and assume it is reality in the US. I just love it when liberal whack jobs play dress up in "A Handmaiden's Tale" costumes to protest some strange, imaginary transgression against their fragile dispositions. A lib would not be happy unless they were pis*ed off about something and protesting. It is what they live for; a liberal would go insane in paradise, as they would have nothing to complain about.

This is a BIG difference between conservatives and liberals. We conservatives live in a real world among other humans and real life situations; liberals live in a fantasy world that only exists between their ears and leftist cocktail parties.

I did read the article.

She’s been arrested for murder for a self induced abortion. We don’t know more than that, but that’s sufficient for a conversation.
