3 states have defunded planned parenthood.

That's a start. How will prosecutors prove that in a court of law? "beyond a reasonable doubt". Manslaughter ain't small claims court.

You also said every miscarriage should be investigated as manslaughter. How will that be accomplished? How will we monitor every fertile, sexually active women for miscarriages so they can be investigated?

How?
But getting the .gov all up in every women's bidness. That's how.

Or hey we could be reasonable and stop pretending what almost every mother has thrown out on a tampon or menstrual pad is a dead baby, but you know, where's the moral high-ground in that scenario?

That's icky.

True, but not as creepy as the guy who wants law enforcement to examine them.

Man, can you imagine the ribbing they'd get from other cops?

...You may think what I'm typing is snarky or absurd, but until you explain it more clearly, that's how I assume enforcement of your proposed law changes would have to be handled.

I'm not trying to pile on, either. But, OKCHunter, your plan makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[OKCHunter]

So random knocks at the door of women? Access medical records? Pull from a list of marriage license? Target married women with a legal or medical record of drug abuse?

"Sir, we're here to monitor inspect you wife's vaginal discharge, says here she has a possession charge from college and she's of fertile age and married, so I assume you two are sexually active?"

Making abortion illegal and therefore murder, would be a big step in the right direction and would satisfy me. And, that includes the removal of the "morning after pill".

Miscarriage and manslaughter may only be possible in an extreme circumstance - for example, a women winds up in the emergency room for a drug overdose and has a miscarriage after being pregnant for 3 months. Or, a drunk driver hits a pregnant women, she lives but the baby dies. The drunk driver would be guilty of manslaughter.

Again, backup and apply some common sense.

How about smoking, or drinking? Both are behavior choices by the mother that can lead to miscarriage. Going to put them away for that? For that matter, high stress can cause miscarriage; are you ready to say that women living a high-stress lifestyle (executives, doctors, lawyers) should get ten years in the graybar if they don't carry to term?

See post 67 and then 66.

Why 3 months if life begins at conception?
