Courtesy of The New Civil Rights Movement:
The Tennessee House last week voted 80-18 to make miscarriage or the killing of any fertilized egg murder. Last night, the Tennessee Senate passed by a 28-2 margin a companion version of the bill. The bill specifically includes all embryos at any state of gestation in utero. Tennessees Republican Governor Bill Haslam has not indicated if he will sign the bill.
To be clear, this bill goes further than covering, say, a violent attacker harming an expectant mother who then, unfortunately, miscarries. This bill, House Bill 3517 and the Senates companion, makes anyones actions that presumably cause a miscarriage murder. Opponents of the bill question how law enforcement would actually enforce this law or determine if someones action was a direct cause of a miscarriage.

Think well what you will "buy" with your freedom or your enslavement.

In other words, your womb is no longer under your control, it is the property of the state.
Can we call it fascism yet?
The third reich had women locked up in birthing centers to make sure they produced cannon fodder.
This is working up to be the same thing.
