Funny how all those people that were so worried about "Sharia law" in the U.S. are now the same ones imposing it.

"No, not [charges] to the victim of the rape or incest," Taylor clarified. "To the person who committed it."
"If they're lying and someone can prove that they're lying then there are repercussions," Glick remarked, referring to charges for the person seeking an abortion.
"But this doesn't lend itself to reporting to an authority that this person has been raped or victim of incest," Taylor explained. "There's nothing that requires the person to report this. And I'm asking why there is not that consideration in this amendment?"
"It's not required under this," Glick replied. "If you want to amend the amendment, I guess that's up to you."
The committee passed Glick's amendment by a 7-5 vote. The accompanying bill banning nearly all abortions was also later passed by the committee by another 7-5 vote.
I just...I don't know anymore what to say or do. I really fear for my daughter's future and my own until I no longer have a uterus.

It's pretty clear what Republicans want to happen...criminalize abortion and you turn women into felons. Felons can't vote.
Also - why are we allowing Christianity to have any part in our legislative process? We don't live in a theocracy. There are multiple religions practice in this country and many religions actually place the life of the mother/pregnant person over that of the fetus. So I'm ready for lawsuits to be filed by people who follow those religions for their 1A rights being violated with these laws.
