Get ready for an onslaught of bills making fertilized eggs real people. Indiana is leading the way to give all fertilized eggs legal rights under and state law. Such a law would make all pregnancies that end early investigatable and doctors subject to wrongful death charges. Such laws would also complicate legal heir law and a host of other laws.
Assuming that such a law includes fertility clinics every egg that is fertilized and frozen would have to be implanted. And the loss of any fertilized egg would have to be investigated as a suspicious death. So whoever lost that egg could be charged with murder.
Add contraception to the mix. All forms of contraception could become illegal and subject participants to charges because under the law contraceptive practices would be viewed as abortion.
We are entering a really new territory of criminal law.

(1,755 posts)Prior to Griswold many states made the use of contraceptives a criminal act.
But for more than 50 years the Supreme Court has acknowledged a fundamental right to privacy consistent with the original understanding and intent of the Framing Generation.
Privacy rights jurisprudence prohibits the states from interfering with the protected liberty of deciding whether to have a child or not.
The right to privacy is settled, accepted, and beyond dispute; that most conservatives have contempt for this right and disdain for the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law comes as no surprise.

I think women should start sending their used sanitary products to all the crotch sniffers who are pushing this kind of legislation. You never know which of those products might contain a dead baby.

Either that or be prepared to "vacation" in Canada, ladies. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are great cities to visit.
But I can see a whole chain of abortion clinics along the Canadian side of the border coming soon.
