"It’s not just a lone extremist: The bill has 21 co-sponsors in the state’s House of Representatives".
The “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023” would amend the state’s code of laws, redefining “person” to include a fertilized egg at the point of conception, affording that zygote “equal protection under the homicide laws of the state” — up to and including the ultimate punishment: death.
Fucking disgusting. Party of pro-life my ass. Thank god I live in NY where we don't have this bullshit.
Even though I complain that NY is expensive, you couldn't pay me to move to a red state.
UPDATE: George Carlin did a great bit on abortion in one of his stand ups, and it's so true.
This shit is so short-sighted and confuses the hell out of me.
I've read time and time again that when abortion is illegal, the women who, by and large, are getting abortions in back alleys, are married women who already have children.
So what I'm reading here is, you have a mother of five who is now pregnant with her husband's sixth kid, they cannot afford this sixth kid, and so she seeks out an abortion. So, because she has an abortion, she is given the death penalty, and her husband is now a single dad of five kids.
Men really have no fucking sense. How many women have to die and leave their children motherless before men realize "Oh wait...I didn't think I would be the one to face consequences for this."
