Is putting the life of pregnant women as severe risk for no benefits whatsoever a good thing? Views differ
Both Sidesed to death:
This man is dead-set on killing pregnant people, and the media keeps calling and quoting him and generally treats him as a reasonable interlocutor who advances the anti-abortion argument in good faith.https://t.co/NwS1bKC51I— Madeline Marsanne (@MadelineOnMars) March 12, 2022
As with the coming bans on aborting etopic pregnancies, this really removes any doubt about what abortion criminalization is about. There’s not even a tradeoff between the life of the mother and the potential life of a fetus — no baby is going to be born by forcing a woman to miscarry, but mothers will definitely die. It’s just pure misogynist sadism, which is what it’s always been about. And even if laws theoretically have an exemption to save the life of the mother, 1)doctors will rightly have very little faith that they won’t be prosecuted, and 2)there will be fewer doctors capable of performing abortions in the first place.
