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.

I know, it's revolting.

It's writing a law so that women can be victemized and traumatized twice. First by their abuses spouses, then by the government that SHOULD be protecting and supporting them.
