The GOPee tax bills have a really troubling detail: Fetal Personhood

Snopes has it, here:

https://www.snopes.com/gop-tax-bill-fetal-personhood-legislation/

So here's the deal. A seemingly innocent rule that allows a fetus to be named the beneficiary of such financial instruments as college savings plans, insurance policies, etc.

That gets the camel's nose into the tent. Once we accept them as legal "persons" they become people. That makes abortion murder. That makes it a slam dunk to outlaw it.

Wow.
