Just talked about this earlier today. We are going backwards. Help me understand. If a woman has a miscarriage and it is believed that she is the cause, she can be charged with 2nd degree murder. How can this be proven? Convicted felons charged with murder can not vote. Sooooo, women will lose their right to vote. Plus, who determines if my miscarriage is self-induced? Is there a battery of tests much like there were during the Salem Witch Trials? When will blacks become fully realized human beings with rights? Marching with vagina hats and walking hand in hand singing spirituals is not enough. We need more will power to change things. Thinking out loud.
