So many problems here. The one that really stands out to me though is that using this law to prosecute a woman for taking abortion medication means that the lump of snot in a petri dish that we've all seen the picture of is legally defined as a "child". That is so incredibly stupid and insane that one hardly even knows how to address it.

When I was a kid Sesame Street had a rocking number about 'alive' and what it meant, with lyrics like, 'a rock's not alive' and so forth. This is the level of intelligence that these people are failing at. To be a "child", you have to have been BORN. Outside a woman - - yes, a child! INSIDE a woman - - NOT a child! And then what's worse is Republicans treat real actual children like shit, while getting all worked up about the lump of snot. [PRIMAL SCREAM]

Every day, we get a little bit closer to living in Margaret Atwood's dystopian future..........only it is now becoming our present.
