Georgia's "pro-life" Republicans have passed a law that would subject a woman who self-terminates after six weeks to life imprisonment or capital punishment. slate.com/news-and-polit… @Slate
@Slate Under the new Georgia law, a woman who miscarries could be liable for second-degree murder. If prosecutors can prove that she is somehow responsible, she can be imprisoned for 30 years.
@Slate A woman who travels out of Georgia to obtain a legal abortion elsewhere could still be prosecuted under the new law, and imprisoned for up to ten years.
@Slate There is a reason why no major "pro-life" group will say whether women who self-terminate should be prosecuted. It's because there is no way to criminalize abortion without criminalizing women who undergo abortions. slate.com/human-interest…
@Slate Pro-life groups may claim they do not want to punish women. But they promote bills that subject women to severe punishment for obtaining abortions. It is a lie that abortion bans will not penalize women. Georgia is the proof. slate.com/news-and-polit… @Slate
