New Mexico Bill Would Criminalize Abortions After Rape As 'Tampering With Eviden

[blacken700]

the nutty right is at it again


A Republican lawmaker in New Mexico introduced a bill on Wednesday that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial.
 
House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R), would charge a rape victim who ended her pregnancy with a third-degree felony for "tampering with evidence."
 
“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime," the bill says.
 
Third-degree felonies in New Mexico carry a sentence of up to three years in prison.

you've got to be kidding... Is this real lol?  That's about as fucked up wrong as it gets.  I've become a lot more pro life over the years but this is just nuts.  As much as I loath the idea of giving any credibility to psychiatry, Cathrynn Brown, needs some sort of mental health evaluation and perhaps some shock therapy lol.
