A bill making its way through the North Carolina Legislature states that it would be permissible for a person to use deadly force on a woman they believe is seeking an abortion, something Democrats have branded as “wildly extreme.”
The legislation, backed only by Republican state Representative Keith Kidwell, would classify abortion as first-degree murder and open the right of another person to defend the life of the unborn baby as they see fit.
— Dan Gooding, “Republican Bill Urges ‘Deadly Force’ to Stop Abortions in North Carolina”
Murder a woman to defend the life of her unborn baby.
This is so fucking stupid and hypocritical that it’s impossible to take it seriously if your skull isn’t full of brainworms, but the thing I really wish that USAsians who are not Christian Nationalists would understand is that these fucking fascists mean it. This bill may be nothing more than a political stunt right now, but one day it will be more than that. We concede more power to these awful shitheads every year, and someday not too far in the future they will have enough power that they can actually pass something like this. And then they will.
