"Rep. Rick Berg (R-ND), the candidate for Senate from North Dakota, once voted for a bill that would have made any woman who obtained an abortion guilty of a homicide crime — even if it were in the case of rape or incest. Indeed, the bill Berg supported does not even contain an explicit exception if an abortion is necessary to save the woman’s life"

1. And of the rape victim is forced to bear the spawn

It's a life sentence for HER.
Our Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. Oh, wait-- that's only for convicted criminals. Cruel and unusual punishment for crime *victims* is perfectly fine!
Woman-hating: the race to the bottom.

2. That is barbaric. Period.

Anyone who proposed or voted for this should be barred from elective office forever, except in Taliban controlled territory.

3. Some birth control would carry a life sentence too.

At least that is the impression I got from Rachel Maddow last night, she mentioned an IUD.

She was going through a number of these wingnuts and their cockamamey ideas.

5. I think we need to keep this story at the top

7. This is out of control.

We cannot go back. I would get sterlizized if this ever became the law in this nation.
