Purvi Patel Serving 20 Years For Feticide. Look For Feticide Laws With GOP In Power.

Even though Purvi Patel had a miscarriage with no evidence she tried to induce it she is no in prison under Indiana's feticide law. She was also charged and convicted of child neglect against the fetus. To think that the GOP would support putting women in jail for ending their pregnancies even if in danger is an understatement.

Let's take this madness even further. What about life in prison or the death penalty. Would they charge thee women with 1st degree murder? The GOP attack on women's right goes far beyond just denying access. What the GOP and religious rights intend in the end if far more serious.

Taking that logic even farther if contraception is abortion or feticide would taking preventative contraceptives be a serious crime in the future? The Catholic Church looks at birth control as essentially abortion like. That is why contraceptives even condoms are forbidden. Does not matter how many Catholics use birth control. In fact they are NOT allowed communion actually by moral law. They are committing an offense the would get them excommunicated.

We must all understand how vicious the attack on reproductive right is. And we must understand that we have a determined party the will take those rights away by all means necessary. When Huckabee says he will use the military to stop abortion we must take that seriously because there are others who believe exactly like him.

In fact, if more people flee these oppressive states, the number of reps in Congress from those states will decline. Unless Congress changes the laws in their favor. Which they do non-stop now.
