It is a twisted form of logic, one that potentially imprisons female victims of incest and rape for having abortions, that is behind state Rep. Cathrynn Brown’s (R) House Bill 206. In classic double-speak, Brown says she introduced the bill as a way “protecting women” across the state of New Mexico.
Basically the bill insists that women must carry the fetus of their rapist or incestual abuser to full term - otherwise it will be deemed intent to destroy evidence of a crime. And that is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison. It’s hard to believe that the war against women can wage on in such an egregious manner.
