If we're gonna make ridiculous strawmen like that, then these mothers should be guilty of unlawful detainment for not letting the fetuses out of their wombs as soon as they were viable
- prh8 4y agoIt's not really a ridiculous strawman, it's more indicative of how ridiculous these personhood laws are. Here in Arizona (I am here), you cannot get health insurance for fetuses, nor claim as a dependent. I would expect traffic tickets for using the HOV lanes (similar to the Texas woman doing so a few months ago). This is all political theater and it does nothing for actual life. Not to mention that 9 of the 10 worst states for maternal and fetal morbidity are red states enacting policies like this.
- phpisthebest 4y agoI agree but this found all over the law in many instances around age / birth. In states where personhood is established at birth, you can still be found guilty of murder if your actions result in the death of a unborn person outside the limited exemption of medical abortion.
- spoils19 4y agoNot a bad idea, in all honesty. Conservative states are already leaning towards this, and it's something that every reader on this forum should generally support.
