The people supporting horrendous legislation like this. O.M.G. Don't they have to explain and defend their position scientifically to allow ectopic pregnancies to proceed when that kind of pregnancy does not produce a child? And when proceeding will pretty much mean death to the mother?

Oh right. Mothers. Women. These law makers see them as baby carrying receptacles only. See them as People? No.

Under that same logic, if they do not have to defend their STUPID idea and proposed legislation, couldn't they advocate for laws preventing removal of: impacted wisdom teeth? bullets from guts? hernias from tummies? etc. etc. No need to prove in my outlandish example, why they don't want any of these items removed from a body.

It's almost: ban anything you want, you don't need anything more than certain voter approval, certainly not science...

Danielle, don't let me even get started on the need for some groups to control women and their bodies...

Thank you for writing this piece.
