"The amendments are part of an effort to make “coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud” a crime. State Sen. Thomas Pressly (R) filed the bill, SB 276, on behalf of his sister, whose husband added abortion pills to her drink without her consent. Pressly claimed at a committee hearing on Tuesday that he’s “aware of increasing incidents of men using threats of violence or duress to cause women to take abortion pills against their will,” pushing a common anti-abortion narrative that ignores how taking away the option of accessing abortion can trap women in abusive situations. "
“Your husband should not slip you abortion pills without you knowing it, that story is terrible. But linking that with this is totally backwards,” an OB-GYN told Rolling Stone. They added that using this bill as a backdoor to criminalize possession of abortion pills “feels very sneaky.”
The guys that have done this, have all been republicans, another one was trump's boy Jason Miller, the one who looks like someone painted a face on a thumb.

So they reframed this horrible incident as an excuse to try to reclassify the drug.
The guys that have done this, have all been republicans, another one was trump's boy Jason Miller, the one who looks like someone painted a face on a thumb.
