Abortion before Roe was forbidden but not thought of or treated as murder.
This is overdoing it.
I favor banning abortion from conception if that is the only available alternative to allowing it ad lib up to the onset of labor.
But not like this.
This is clear proof there really are pro-life extremists and crazies.
Missouri lawmaker wants police officers to stop women from getting abortions
Mike Moon, a Republican Missouri state representative, introduced a bill he calls the Right to Due Process Act, which redefines a fertilized egg as a person with all the constitutional rights of any other citizen.
The suggested law then requires police and the courts to “affirmatively enforce” the Missouri constitution’s due process clause which guarantees legal rights to people, effectively turning any attempt to terminate a pregnancy into murder.
Moon also filed a bill to “abolish” abortion in Missouri, and specifically cites “murder by abortion”.
The law makes no exemptions for rape, incest or apparently for women who have pregnancies which are not viable and potentially fatal, since the proposals strike references to abortion exemptions for maternal health.
