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.

Oh, very much so.

And personally, I don't think it's a matter of religious tolerance; it's a matter of upholding the seperation of Church and State. They can believe whatever they want as long as they keep their fucking laws off women's bodies.

Oh it is most definitely an issue of church and state (an absolutely ridiculous one), but for me on a personal level it just makes me feel like we should dump them all on a deserted island somewhere so they can't keep spreading their self-righteous prejudice to the rest of the world. >:/

And you know what, as long as you don't actively legislate or agitate to do so, you're golden! In fact, I will join you in fantasizing about.. well, nothing so kind as a deserted island.
