N.H. Republicans Accidentally Approved a Bill Allowing Pregnant Women to Commit Murder

quote [ New Hampshire was mere weeks away from having an army of Kill Bill–style avenging mothers-to-be roaming the state. ]

Seems fair.

Cute, but the downside is that this 'personhood' bill will still likely go on to become law in NH. And while it may effectively shield women from prosecution for having abortions, good luck to them because it likely won't shield doctors. Also, such laws have been used to prosecute and imprison pregnant women with addiction problems. as opposed to trying to get them treatment.

So we need pregnant women doctors to perform abortions, and it's all ok.

It's just a slightly misworded Woman Control Act.

existing legal language including the principle that laws cannot be read literally when such a reading would yield an “absurd result.”

Huh. Almost as if some state lawmakers realized that literalism was a bad idea. Too bad they were smarter than our Supreme Court justices.
