    The reasoning behind banning abortion is that a very small fetus is actually a full person. That makes abortion murder, and even though something like 20% of pregnancies naturally end in a miscarriage, now every one of them is a potential DIY abortion i.e. murder, so they now must be investigated as such.

    As for the racism aspect, well, it’s just a sad fact that laws are–in general–applied more stringently and punished more severely for minorities. Of course these new laws would only be no exception.

      Ok, sure. But pre-overturning of roe v wade, this would still be a crime. Black or white, this would still be a crime. I dont see how its more or less a crime because of the color of her skin.

        Way to argue in bad faith. The woman in question went to the hospital first. She had a miscarriage at home against her will.

        Whether or not it would be a crime is utterly irrelevant; this situation would have never even occurred.

          How is this a bad faith argument? Disposing of the body in the toilet was the crime. That had nothing to do with the hospital visit or the miscarriage. The situation may not have occured. The part that is irrelevant is your subjective view of the situation. A crime occured no mayter what the status of Roe v Wade.

            False. The situation absolutely would not have occurred, and I explained exactly how.

            Bad faith because the entire crux of your argument is irrelevant and you know it.
