Lose the Right to Choose, Lose the Right to Vote?

I haven't read your post (yet), but I had a thought. If a woman takes alternative means to abort an unwanted pregnancy, at a point when a medical abortion is illegal, and she gets caught - what happens? Would she be tried for murder? And if so, wouldn't the resulting jail time cause her to lose her right to vote?

Well, not really as she would obviously be charged and convicted of a capital offense demanding a minimum of life imprisonment if she managed to avoid the death penality. In such a case, her sperm donor would required to vote twice.

As a female can not become pregnant without the active participation of a male isn't it his resposiblity to keep his pants zipped rather than the responsibility of a women to "keep her legs closed". If women are the "weaker sex" she so addled headed she would not know how. Then it would seem to me that the burden is on the male, with his superior intellectual capabilities. I therefore would think that the male not the female should be prosecuted if the women had an abortion.

we're all just shades of purple.

Anyway, it's all blue potatoes to me.

Now, Now, Now, we must keep our respect up throughout this change.
Just because women cannot be allowed to continue controlling their own bodies does not mean we should deprecate them. We are honoring them by taking away their freedom to choose. It's a sacred mission but we must carry on.

But you see in the red state mind, the same as it's always been, when something goes wrong, when men are led astray even by their own urges, it's always the woman's fault.
