It's all fun and games: Georgia Legislator Demands Death Penalty For Undocumented Miscarriages [tw: violence, abuse, abortion]

Yes, seriously. In fact, he prefiled this bill during the winter recess so that it would be the very first thing on this year’s calendar for the Georgia state legislature: House Bill 1.

House Bill 1 declares the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe…

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I realize I’m late to the party but how have legislators EVER seriously proposed stuff like this. It scares me because in today’s climate such things might actually get through, and because I’m not incapable of imagining a world in which this one did anymore.

NOT ONLY would this mean that women who miscarry face even more emotional trauma, but it views them immediately as possible murderers, guilty until proven innocent (and how the fuck do you prove there was no human involvement? Any guesses that a white woman’d be believed over a black woman?), BUT it’d also mean that if anything happened as a result of them being in an abusive situation while pregnant or having a mental condition which made them dysphoric during pregnancy or exceptionally clumsy or god knows what, anything that could end up accidentally hurting chances of a viable birth, the very first thing the law’d be doing is pointing the blame at them.
