Forced to put its money where its mouth is, the Catholic Church backs off on the idea that the fetus is a person.
I'll need to see more evidence before I believe the claim that the proposed New Mexico legislation would punish a rape victim for getting an abortion of her own volition.
This is supposed to criminalize the actions of abusers who would have their victim get an abortion so that no one would know what they did. And criminalize the actions of people who help the abuser hide the evidence.
forcing a woman to stay pregnant after she was impregnated is punishing her. why do republicans keep trying to find ways to victimize the victim? it's so fucking repugnant.

A Republican lawmaker in New Mexico introduced a bill on Wednesday that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial.
House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R), would charge a rape victim who ended her pregnancy with a third-degree felony for "tampering with evidence."
“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime," the bill says.
Third-degree felonies in New Mexico carry a sentence of up to three years in prison.
Pat Davis of ProgressNow New Mexico, a progressive nonprofit opposing the bill, called it "blatantly unconstitutional" on Thursday.
“The bill turns victims of rape and incest into felons and forces them to become incubators of evidence for the state,” he said. “According to Republican philosophy, victims who are ‘legitimately raped’ will now have to carry the fetus to term in order to prove their case.“

Cathrynn N. Brown
UPDATE: 12:25 p.m. -- Brown said in a statement Thursday that she introduced the bill with the goal of punishing the person who commits incest or rape and then procures or facilitates an abortion to destroy the evidence of the crime.
On Thursday, Brown issued a statement that she said clarifies the intent behind her bill. In it, she said she plans to submit a substitute draft soon. Her statement reads:
"It has been speculated that this legislation is intended to criminalize rape victims. This is a misinterpretation of the intent of the legislation.
'House Bill 206 was never intended to punish or criminalize rape victims,' said Rep. Brown. 'Its intent is solely to deter rape and cases of incest. The rapist—not the victim—would be charged with tampering of evidence. I am submitting a substitute draft to make the intent of the legislation abundantly clear.'"

Yeah, she certainly needs to do so. The original draft doesn't discern between rapist or victim and has bullshit written all over it.

“New Mexico needs to strengthen its laws to deter sex offenders,” said Brown. “By adding this law in New Mexico, we can help to protect women across our state.”

Nothing.
Its an attempt to deflect.
