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 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.
