re: #67 Kruk

Jesus wept. I know we’ve already discussed Georgia lawmaker Bobby Franklin’s law criminalizing miscarriages, but this article makes it clear just how batshit the law really is.

A woman who miscarries is responsible for proving there was there was no ‘human involvement’ (in other words, the burden of proof falls on her rather than the state), and she could potentially face the death penalty of convicted.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

OK, I knew about the insane part of needing to prove it wasn’t an abortion or the like, but I must have missed the death penalty part of it when I read the proposal the first time. I didn’t actually think it could be more outrageous than just the first part, but…*sighs*
