Goddammit Bobby Franklin.

First the attack on Planned Parenthood funding and now this: State Rep. Bobby Franklin of Georgia introduced a bill in his state last week that, if enacted, would require proof that a miscarriage occurred naturally. If a woman can’t prove that her miscarriage–or spontaneous abortion–occurred without intervention, she could face felony charges.

“Franklin wants to create a Uterus Police to investigate miscarriages, and requires that any time a miscarriage occurs, whether in a hospital or without medical assistance, it must be reported and a fetal death certificate issued. If the cause of death is unknown, it must be investigated. If the woman can’t tell how it happened, then those Uterus Police can ask family members and friends how it happened. Hospitals are required to keep records of anyone who has a spontaneous abortion and report it.”

The bill is mostly aimed to make sure that any attempt to remove an embryo or fetus from a mother must be with the goal of a live birth. Ectopic pregnancy– which can be fatal to mother and fetus– is no exception. Maternal bleeding, cancer… no exceptions. I doubt it will pass, but this news comes at the end of a really rotten week for reproductive rights.

What’s next? What’s fucking next? What else are these conservative men who will never have to deal with this going to do next to restrict my rights? 

We’ll just see what they think of this when they get one of their interns pregnant and they can’t have it aborted~

This is fucking disgusting.

I can’t live in a country like this. Hundreds of years women have been fighting for equal rights and this is what we’re being reduced to. Second class citizens with men trying to tell us what we can and can’t do with our own bodies.

This just pisses me the fuck off.
