They're after Roe V Wade these days with a vengeance all over the country - the newest challenge to abortion rights is coming up claiming abortion should be illegal once the fetus can feel pain....only Drs are VERY divided over that issue. To me the logical solution is to sedate the mothers since any meds she takes go to the fetus - ta da - no more worries about pain. They want to use it to outlaw abortion. I wish there was some way to stop these people from infringing on women's rights. It's a disgrace.
They didn't make all miscarriages illegal, but they did broaden the catagory into a reckless endangerment/homicide kind of thing.
I see the potential misuse of this by husbands/boyfriends/etc. claiming that the woman intentionally miscarried the pregnancy. I also see where drug abusers would be seriously affected and put their lives at risk because they can't afford, or don't want to go to a regular abortion clinic.
However, the burden of proof is still on the state; they have to prove the person intentionally or (and this is where things get edgy) recklessly endangered the fetus/embryo/whatever.
I'll say it again, this law could be abused very easily. It is flawed and I don't agree with it.
Neither do I. If I hadnt been able to go to a hospital for help when I was on drugs and lost my last pregnancy - the last one I would ever have it seems, not that I mind but.... anyway - if I hadnt been free to go get help without worrying about jail, who knows what might have happened? I wouldn't have gone, and would have played roulette with my life - most likely - and that's what all the women there will have to do. Women are going to die. Not everyone is going to be lucky. These kinds of laws dont just enrage me - they scare me too.
Utah was founded by Mormons - the people who stole Masonry and made it a religion. Keep that in mind.
And the idea of "You can't miscarry! It's illegal!" shows them to be idiots of the highest order (miscarriages are common).
And its like guns - if its not legal, it'll be done anyway, illegally. Take a row of birth control pills, and you'll spontaneously abort. And there's plenty of herbals that'll cause abortion. Or you could take certain medications ("black box"), which render the fetus inviable. It's not that hard.
Utah... *shakes head* You grew up in SLC? I'm amazed you're as normal as you are. Dem people are crazy.
