Once off the table, bills to charge women who get abortions with murder get votes before failing

6. If passed by a red state, such a law would be selectively applied only to minority women.

The right-wing goal is more white babies, and fear of prosecution would force white women to carry pregnancies to term, even if no white woman was ever prosecuted. And, of course, any woman whose pregnancy is life threatening would just be allowed to die.

Another crazy law Republicans keep introducing is one to end no-fault divorce. If women are forced to forego abortions and thus end their education and economic independence to stay home and raise baby after baby, they will not have the money to file for divorce or pay an investigator to document cause for divorce. Domestic abuse will be excused as not a justifiable cause for divorce. This law has already been introduced in some states, but so far it has been defeated. The religious right truly hates women and wants to lock them away to be under a man’s control.
