@QasimRashid Does this mean women can seek #ChildSupport as soon as they conceive? If that #fetus is a person…oh and DNA test every man the woman has been with prior to conception so that the state can collect should the guy decide he doesn’t want anything to do with the woman or the fetus.

#JosseliBarnica is 1 of ≥2 #Texas women who…lost their lives after doctors delayed treating #miscarriages, which fall into a gray area under the state’s strict #abortion #laws that prohibit doctors from ending the #heartbeat of a #fetus.

Neither wanted an abortion, but that didn’t matter. Though proponents insist the laws protect both the life of the fetus & the person carrying it, in practice, #doctors have hesitated to provide care under threat of #prosecution, #prison & professional ruin.

[madness!]

In almost every case, authorities—driven by the idea that the #fetus can be the victim of a #crime perpetrated by its #pregnant #mother [by way of applying #FetalPersonhood] —charged #women using statutes that criminalize child endangerment, neglect, or abuse.

2/2…We are prosecuting women’s #healthcare !

“The sharp rise of prosecutions, Rivera added, "is directly tied to the radical legal doctrine of 'fetal personhood,' which grants full legal rights to an embryo or #fetus turning them into victims of crimes perpetrated by #pregnant #women."

Encourage those around you who care about the women, they care for…
To take this election seriously.
If you want to protect women…protect them from #trump & the #gop …
& vote #KamalaHarris

@Nonilex @MicrobeRust
People are wondering where this comes from ("killing babies after they are born.")

It's important to remember #DemetiaDon lives in a #timewarp.

He's thinking of the "Dilation & Extraction" procedure #Republicans tried to make a huge deal out of during the Obama Healthcare debate.

This is the extraordinarily rare procedure where a #fetus has to be terminated after only the head has emerged (once referred to as a "Partial Birth #Abortion".)

He rewrote this in his mind.

The bill had passed easily through most cmtes in the #RepublicanControlledLegislature until #Democrats began raising concerns last wk that the proposal was so broad that it might also impact #IVF treatments.

The #legislation sought to define a #fetus as an “unborn child” shielded by civil #negligence #laws. Supporters said the measure would bring #civil #law in line w/existing #state #criminal law that allows for additional penalties against people charged w/ harming a #pregnant #woman.
