I Don't Want To Remember This

 Utah criminalizes miscarriage.

I have no words.

Beyond commenting on how desperate someone must be to pay someone to beat her, and how horrible it must be to have no other options. ($175 is cheaper than an abortion).

Also, how craven it is to beat a pregnant seventeen year for money.

I just... I am just horrified about this whole situation.

Had she simply been allowed to exercise her right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy then her suffering and any possible repercussions such a beating could inflict on the child.


Exactly! And if people honestly want to reduce the number of abortions WHY THE FUCK are they blocking contraception?

The first woman prosecuted under this new law needs to sue Utah and bring her case to the Supreme Court so that this law can be abolished and insure that such a monstrosity never occurs again.


hell yes. Although I'm fucking furious there has to BE a 'first woman'.
