The bill currently makes all abortions a crime, with no exceptions. Prosecutors could even bring the charge of homicide for abortions, a crime that in Texas could carry a sentence of the death penalty.
Abortion •IS• homicide. It is the killing of a human being, which is the very definition of homicide.
There is some room to argue that in some instances, it may constitute justifiable homicide, but really, it's a rather extreme stretch to do so, since nearly all abortions take place in the complete absence of the sort of extreme circumstances under which homicide is otherwise considered justifiable.
But to deny that abortion is homicide is to deny basic science, and to deny obvious reality.
The death penalty would certainly be an appropriate punishment for having any willing part in the killing of an innocent human being, in the complete absence of sufficiently drastic and extreme circumstances as to justify such a killing.
Another male who wants to lord it over females.
