    It’s already happening. There are calls on the right to prosecute women who miscarry, charging them with manslaughter.

    At least one woman, Brittany Watts, is already under arrest. She miscarried into her toilet and flushed. She was arrested and her toilet taken apart to get “evidence.” She’s charged with attempted abuse of a corpse.

    If the abortion bans are upheld, the next step is banning miscarriages. Of course, this happens to women naturally - without any action on their part. Still, women will be subjected to criminal investigations to see what they did to “cause” the miscarriage (“you took one sip of wine! Guilty!”), what they did after the miscarriage (“you miscarried at 15 weeks and didn’t bury the body in a coffin in a cemetery! Guilty!”), or anything else. Obviously, the rich and powerful will be spared from this scrutiny, but the middle class and poor women? They’ll be harassed. Especially if they happen to not be white. (“Double Guilty!!!”)

      These women need to stop voting for their fave family-values friendly politicians and start growing a pair. I’m tired of hearing about women who only start complaining when it starts affecting them. This selfishnesss needs to be aborted like 100 years ago

      I think what you said about the burial and coffin(casket?) is important too, that’s a logical next step in forcing Christianity on people who don’t practice it. You will bury your dead, and a pastor will be there or you’ll pay dearly- type vibe.
