Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere. I was pretty flabbergasted to hear about it:
Texas abortion bill would allow the death penalty for women - Vox
Obviously the bill won't pass, but the immorality behind it is worth talking about. This seems really antithetical to anyone who claims to be "pro-life".
So a minor could get raped and incested by her father, and then get the death penalty if she tries to get rid of the pregnancy.
Talk about twisted! :shock:
Texas abortion bill would allow the death penalty for women - Vox
A bill recently introduced in Texas would make it possible for women to get the death penalty for having abortions.
The bill would criminalize all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest, and would make it possible to charge a woman with homicide for having the procedure, according to the Washington Post. The state of Texas allows capital punishment for homicide.
Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican state legislator who introduced the bill, says it would make people “consider the repercussions” of having sex.
