If this passes as-is, then if a walking-pile-of-protoplasm-with-a-Y-chromosome rapes his own daughter in Alabama, she'll have to carry the offspring to term.
Worse yet, women who have miscarriages could be convicted for negligence.
Could be? It's happened before. Purvi Patel of Indiana was sentenced to 20 years in prison for feticide. She said it was a miscarriage, and there was no evidence otherwise. Renee Gibbs, a 16 year old girl, delivered a stillborn child, and was indicted on charges of 'depraved heart murder'. Bei Bei Shaui attempted to commit suicide. Rather than get her help for her clearly serious issues, police in Indianapolis had a homicide detective interrogating her within half an hour, and later charged her with murder.
The examples I just mentioned are not one offs, they're not outliers. This is what happens, and not just in America either. This is an evil that horrible people, often men, inflict on women at possibly the worst time in their lives. Abortion is not some simple black and white concept, with a clear line dividing good and evil. The monsters making these laws know that, and to be honest? They enjoy it.
