Any opportunity to harm women is welcome.

Republicans in Tennessee have proposed a bill that would allow women who have had an abortion to be sentenced to death.

House Bill 570 allows for the death penalty to be imposed on women who have abortions, as well as charging women “involved in the homicide of her own unborn child” with homicide.

This is because love, you know. Tennessee Republicans love fertilized eggs so much they’re willing to kill adult humans for not allowing the fertilized eggs to take over their bodies.

The legislation would allow prosecutors to charge women who obtain abortions with fetal homicide. This crime is punishable by life imprisonment, life without parole, and in some cases, the death penalty.

Tennessee has some of the strictest abortion laws in the U.S. since its “trigger ban” took place in 2022. The Human Life Protection Act prevents all abortions from fertilization and there are no exceptions for rape or incest.

This is just one more way men get to perform their hatred and contempt for women in public, along with the way Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mounty-Windy and Donald Trump did and do. The big ones have to stay pregnant no matter how much they don’t want to, and the small ones are there to be raped. A decent system.

The Tennessean reports that HB0570 specifically removes further legal protections from women living in the state and classifies harm done to an unborn child the same as harm done to a living person, or someone who is “born alive.”

Well, it isn’t. An aborted fetus isn’t sitting around somewhere mourning the rich and fulfilling life it could have had. An aborted fetus doesn’t know what it’s missing (or escaping). Interrupting its gestation is not the same as murdering a thinking dreaming hoping person not still lounging around in utero.

Fellow Republican congressman Monty Fritts, who co-sponsored the bill and is running for Tennessee governor, has constantly backed the idea that women who receive abortions should face the death penalty.

“Murder is murder. I know that’s hard for people to hear, and I don’t mean to be hard with it, I promise,” Fritts told the Tennessee Holler, adding that abortion should be a “capital crime.”

“We have failed to identify that tiny little, jelly-bean-sized baby as a human being. If we kill a human being, we have to say it is murder,” he told the outlet.

Men eager to kill women. Where have we seen that before?
