Don't Have A Miscarriage In Utah

Utah just became the first state in the U.S. to criminalize miscarriage and punish women for having or seeking an illegal abortion. Utah's "Criminal Miscarriage" law:
expands the definition of illegal abortion to include miscarriages
removes immunity protections for women who have or seek illegal abortions
treats women as presumptive criminals and leaves them open to criminal prosecution



This law:
defines legal abortion as a procedure "carried out by a physician or through a substance used under the direction of a physician." Anything else that terminates a pregnancy is now defined as illegal abortion - including miscarriages.
states that "The killing or attempted killing of a live unborn child in a manner that is not abortion shall be punished as...criminal homicide." (emphasis mine)
removes existing immunity from criminal prosecution for women "who seek to have or obtain an abortion" or "upon whom a partial birth abortion is performed."
applies the legal standard of an "intentional, knowing or reckless act of the woman" as punishable as criminal homicide.

You'd be surprised. How long until such extremes become commonplace?

Pretty sure you're underestimating how crazy "even the most right of people" are..

In any case too many states need to get blown up lately.

Heard there's leftover radiation in Utah's soil from all the nuclear testing in the past. Not the best excuse, but atleast its a start, right?

edit: also have mtn top removal and fracking problems, I guess Utah gets a little more sympathy from me than Texas/Arizona's inbred redneck populous.

I wish there were some way to stop these right wingers from playing games with other people's rights.

[Yabby]

There is, but I was told killing people is bad.

And here I thought that the Mormons were the smartest of the religious nuts...

How does this even happen? What the fuck kinda morons do we have in charge that they decide a person should be liable for something completely outside of their control?
