This time, New Mexico State Rep. Cathrynn Brown proposes a bill that would make abortions illegal after rape or incest, for cause of ''destroying evidence''...

Yes, you read that right: the victim of one of the worst crimes possible could be the one who is jailed if she - by any sort of grim luck - became pregnant with her tormentor's spawn and decided to not be reminded of it every day of the rest of her life. Not that she would likely ever forget, but the thought of raising the child of the man who forced himself onto you should drive anyone fucking crazy.
Honestly, if it weren't for the grim subject matter, you'd think Republicans were carrying out some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque shtick to prove that politics have gone horribly wrong - except politics actually have horribly wrong, because Republicans aren't kidding.
I understand many issues have two - or three, or four - sides to them, and I get it that abortion would be one of them. I don't understand the mentality of those who are against it, and I don't get that those same people are usually against mental health care, free/affordable education, means to help that kid achieve a respectable life. Until that child is old enough to go to war, that is, then it's time to spend money recruiting them, and should they get injured in combat, the government would also then stop providing care for them (after a short while).
So, essentially, their point is ''keep the kid, we won't help you raise it at all and instead will pretty much render it nearly impossible to do, then let's get him killed''.
Whether those views are based on religion or economics, I don't know and don't care.
But to support the abolition of abortion in such extreme cases - and, in fact, criminalizing it the more extreme the situation becomes - is stupid, dangerous, and evidence that some adults should actually have been aborted oh-so-many years ago.
