Charlie, I am wondering about Republicans next going after women who not only have had abortions but also miscarriages, i.e. the kind of thing that might be dreamed up by the Taliban now being championed by the Republican Party.
Republicans could pass a Texas-style law in which anyone can sue anyone else for a miscarriage and have the woman charged with manslaughter.
A woman could be charged with manslaughter if she is said to: be obese, smoke, have a tempestuous relationship, have an unhealthy diet, have a relationship without being married, work too many hours, drink wine, take anxiety medications, be too old, or innumerable other supposed reasons that the mother may have contributed to the miscarriage.
There is also the issue of fetuses having their chance at life taken away due to women utilizing protection to avoid pregnancy. Could someone sue a woman for denying a life to a potential fetus by using pregnancy prevention methods?
The Supreme Court may decide that women have an obligation to have a certain number of children, because not doing so is denying a God-given life to a fetus. It sounds absurd until you realize it's exactly the kind of logic that might come from ISIS, the Taliban, or even Vladimir Putin for that matter. They are carrying out the word of God after all, so what's the concern?
