3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.
Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

@tweetsjen @QasimRashid Goddamn. That's evil af.
Edit after more thought. It's worse than just evil. And if the implementation and enforcement is as braindead as other southern states, they're going to end up charging women who had miscarriages with this too. Legitimately, you can't be a free, female, South Carolinian if this passes.
When I was in high school I had a dystopian novel phase and I read Margaret Atwoods, *Handmaid's Tale*; I really enjoyed the book but I thought,compared to some of its peers like *Fahrenheit 911*, *Animal Farm* etc... that it was really quite unrealistic. Boy was I wrong. I need the world to make me a pessimist again.
@mwguy the extremists are relentless with their efforts, this is the third time in two years they are trying to pass this bill. I guess we’ve technically been here since Texas passed their bill awarding those who turn others in, but it still feels like we went to The Handmaid’s Tale being relevant way too quickly.
@QasimRashid #GOP is #prolife, my ass.
Absolutely disgusting and horrifying.
@QasimRashid I wish for them what they wish upon women. Damn Nazis
@QasimRashid oh my god it finally happened. The Birdcage came true.
“Albert: [discussing abortion] Oh, I know what you're going to say. "If you kill the mother, the fetus dies, too." But the fetus is going to be aborted anyway, so why not let it go down with the ship?”
"Republicans renew efforts to recreate state slavery.
Women must kowtow to such forced birth policies.
Doesn't every woman or girl crave a government controlling their bodies?"

Women were to serve and nurture their family while men were in charge and had to protect their family. Hitler said this was "the natural order".

And/or has knocked up (made pregnant) their own relative (child - incest) & wants to have a daughter-grand-daughter or sister-mommy (or whatever the technical term is) - JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS. 🙁
I don't like two things in this post, and the attached article. Can anyone explain to me this contradiction about women's lives at risk:
[Article]: This isn’t just a step backward—it is a dangerous escalation that criminalizes women’s healthcare and puts women’s lives at risk
[vs.]
[S323 44‑41‑640]: It is not a violation of Section 44‑41‑615 if an abortion is performed or induced on a pregnant woman due to a medical emergency or is performed to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent the serious risk of a substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function, not including psychological or emotional conditions, of the pregnant woman. [And the rest of this section, I can't paste whole section here]
No judgement here, just fact checking.
@pichor such punitive laws put all abortive services at risk because doctors are scared to preform them. This is already happening in Texas. In addition, now you have to prove that you had an abortion for those specific reasons, so they have to wait until the woman is suffering past the time she should have to, which is dangerous and puts her life at more risk unnecessarily. It also outlaws using medications to do them, which is less invasive.
Abortions should be legal regardless of reason.
I think it's because it would make both patients and doctors much more scared of doing medically necessary abortions as the courts may decide it wasn't actually medically necessary. If the authorities disagreed with the doctor's judgement, the patient could be charged with murder and (I think?) the doctor could be charged with accessory to murder.
American courts especially at the moment aren't known for getting things right, especially on contentious issues. If the penalty for something is death, few people want to take a risk on it going to court no matter how justified they really were.
@QasimRashid I have said this before: I don’t see the future of Republican Party so bright. Nor evangelicals and other fundies.
Give them a whiff of power and they turn into hitler in everything but name.
