no exceptions for rape, incest or protecting the life of the mother. plus with the way the law is written, it could extend to anything involving a fertilized egg, including birth control and IVF treatments, or medical professionals that provide care without doing everything in their power to save the fetus at any expense. the author says his aim is to go to the SCOTUS and overturn Roe v Wade

it was written with that in mind, to trigger a court case that would matriculate up to the US Supreme Court in the hopes that the conservative faction would overturn Roe v Wade

given the makeup of the court now, who's in the white house and how long such a chain of appeals would take, there's a very good chance he would win.

Funny how the "Pro life" party are always trying to make life more miserable by taking away benefits that would help children and make health care harder to get and their supporters don't care.

Really they're just pandering to their Evangelical constituents who are so blind and obsessive over one thing to get their votes. Hardcore religious voters think they're doing a good deed for God while the politicians continue to rob them and make their lives even worse.

North Carolina: "We're the craziest state in the union!"

And I'm sure you have actual, legitimate sources that would back up your reasoning as to why this one state that is generally pretty quiet in the Union is deemed the "craziest," yes?

Should really be an exception for when it's to save the mother's life, but apart from that, good fucking job.

That ought to be illegal and severely punishable.

This seems like something that should be super fuckin illegal

Look at El Salvador to see exactly that.

I'm not well versed enough in law to answer that. I imagine they'd need to have a really strong case to keep escalating appeals like that though, since something that clearly violates established precedent would typically be punted back to the lower court

A step in the right direction except why the fuck would they make those mentioned exceptions illegal? Those are understandable exceptions.
