New legislation proposed in Arkansas would clarify that abortion by fraud is a crime.
H.B. 1551 by Rep. Jimmy Gazaway (R — Paragould) makes it a felony to secretly give a pregnant woman abortion-inducing drugs without her knowledge or consent.
Right now abortion in Arkansas is generally prohibited except to save the life of the mother, and it is illegal to deliver abortion-inducing drugs into the state. Arkansas also has laws prohibiting fetal homicide. However, Arkansas has no specific law addressing situations in which a person secretly gives abortion drugs like RU-486 to a pregnant woman.
In 2022 a Texas man placed abortion drugs in his pregnant wife’s water in order to cause the death of her unborn child, according to the Associated Press. Since then, states have begun proposing laws like H.B. 1551 to prevent this type of crime.
Abortion-inducing drugs take the life of an unborn child. They also carry significant health risks for women — including risks of sepsis and death. In some cases, abortion drugs actually can be more dangerous for women than surgical abortion procedures.
Our laws should do everything possible to protect women and unborn children from these dangerous drugs. H.B. 1551 is a good bill that will help do exactly that. You Can Read H.B. 1551 Here.
There should be a ban on anyone possessing, distributing, or administering abortion-causing drugs.
Preferably nationwide.
Not that I disagree, but isn’t it already a crime to slip women/girls a drug, especially one that makes life altering changes to her? If it’s not already a serious felony and this makes it one, the Hell yes!
“to secretly give a pregnant woman abortion-inducing drugs without her knowledge or consent.”
WHAT!
That is MURDER and MURDER is already against the law.
Many Demorats will vote AGAINST this bill.
That would be aiding and abetting premeditated murder.
I am shocked - I would think it is a crime (even before a bill).
Hope they make paternity fraud a crime too. Or gals taking a dudes condom and impregnating themselves. Or gals poking holes in the guys condom. Or gals deliberately not taking their pills but claiming they are, to trap a guy in a pregnancy.
Its not.
If it is, then every woman who takes these pills should be charged with 1st degree murder.
it is indeed.
I really don’t understand some peoples stance on abortion; to the women, if you don’t want to get knocked up use birth control pills, demand that the dude porking you uses a rubber, better still JUST KEEP YOUR DAMNED LEGS CLOSED!
To the men who support abortion; Use a GODDAMN RUBBER, get a vasectomy (or better still just cut your balls off), KEEP YOUR PECKER IN YOUR PANTS!
ABORTION IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL, IT IS MURDER!!!!
Do you believe that they should be?
What about when the father of the baby wants his daughter or son to live, and is willing to raise them as a single parent, but the mother of the baby murders their baby daughter or baby son via abortion?
Yeah no rights for the guy in this scenario.
I think if they will charge a guy with it, I think they should charge a woman with it, too.
Murder is murder, it isn’t determined by if its mom or dad who does it. Otherwise one person is playing god and the state endorses them.
The fathers of the babies have a natural right to protect their daughters and sons between conception and birth, because the man’s genetic fatherhood of each baby begins at that baby’s conception.
Paternity tests and corresponding child support orders affirm that fact, but it is a fact that paradoxically gets ignored when the father of the baby loves his daughter or son, wants to protect them between conception and birth, and wants to raise them after birth.
The law needs to ensure that natural right can be exercised.
Currently, as you know, the law treats fatherhood as a source of cash for women but not as a source of rights for men.
That has to change for men to be treated as parents instead of as paychecks.
When fathers are disenfranchised from parenthood, mothers are the sole remaining enfranchised parent.
The mothers are then treated as the owners of their daughters and sons.
Their daughters and sons are then treated as the property of their mothers.
People who are treated as someone’s property are dehumanized, just like slaves were.
Dehumanized people tend to get killed.
Yep.
But if someone else terminates them, then its murder.
Thats not how murder is defined in a civilized society where everyone is equal under the law.
Yep.
“””WHAT!
That is MURDER and MURDER is already against the law.

It’s “healthcare”.
