A New Mexico Lawmaker Wants To Criminalize Post-Rape Abortions
Business Insider ^ | 01/24/2013 | Abby Rogers

A Republican legislator in New Mexico is seeking to force pregnant rape victims to carry the pregnancy to term, claiming the fetus could be used as "evidence" at trial.

Rep. Cathrynn Brown's bill would charge a rape victim who sought an abortion with a third-degree felony for "tampering with evidence," The Huffington Post reported Wednesday.

"Tampering with evidence consists of destroying, changing, hiding, placing or fabricating any physical evidence with intent to prevent the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of any person or to throw suspicion of the commission of a crime upon another," House Bill 206 reads.

"The bill turns victims of rape and incest into felons and forces them to become incubators of evidence for the state,” ProgressNow New Mexico member Pat Davis told HuffPost. “According to Republican philosophy, victims who are ‘legitimately raped’ will now have to carry the fetus to term in order to prove their case.“

Sperm is evil.

No. Only possibly STD infected sperm deposited by force is.

I know how you feel.

My son in law turned out to be a real piece of work. I can't stand my filthy disgusting grandkids. I wish they were dead. /s

I am familiar with chicken incubators that produce chickens.

I have never seen an incubator that produces rapists.

Make that “incubators for the offspring of rapists.”

Your SIL was a rapist stranger?

Sounds like you put 2 and 2 together and got RU486?

I’m talking about immediate action after a horrible assault and nothing more. Not the end of the first trimester nor the middle. But the NEXT DAY.

No, he wasn't a rapist. He was some other type of bad thing that makes me want to kill his offspring.

What age is the dividing line between too late to kill and early enough to kill?

None of them can dress themselves yet so I may still have time.
