Confiscating their phones and testing their bodily fluids... to try and jail them for something they did with their own body. Sick fucks
Keep in mind not every lost pregnancy is a choice. They are also trying to jail some of them for a personal tragedy they experienced. You have a spontaneous miscarriage and the doctor prescribes misoprostol to help with the process, then some asshat tries to throw you in jail because Jebus told him to.
My wife had a spontaneous abortion at week 11, we went for the second scan they found no heart beat and they sent us home... what happened in the following hours was fucking horrendous. I couldn't imagine after that some copper wanting to come around for a blood test and to seize her phone, honestly my reaction would probably get me arrested.
My 2024 bingo card has "cop beong shot by distraught husband" on it, and I'm really surprised it doesn't happen a lot more. There was a shooting at a doctor's office in Tulsa that was sort of the same thing.
Shootings are bad. Nobody argues that. That's why we shouldn't be giving people a reason. But noooo, women having sex makes baby jeeezuz cry.
Yes, the point to expansively criminalizing this sort of thing is that they then get to prosecute who they want, at their discretion. The lesson is always 'know your place' and it's why these ghouls should never have power
