Sigh...
These folks are insane.

Keep 'em coming...

I just couldn't believe that shit when I first read 1864. What are those people even smoking to get that far back?
We have basically found the ultimate meme about people going backwards with laws in order to find the "good old days" again.

Some of them really do have an extreme deference to documents written hundreds of years ago.
Hope republicans enjoy losing Arizona in November, on every level.
What's ironic is that the abortion law from 1864 is even much more horrifying than just banning abortions. The 1864 law also allows marriage to a 10 year old. The guy who wrote the bill married a 12 year old a 15 year old and 16 year old.
I'm not going to say what I really want to say...

It is just sickening to see how far some people really want to go in undoing progress for the sake of finding the "good old days" again.
Maternal morality committee...
I've just realised that the general election being called means that the vote on legalising abortion in Great Britain won't take place now.
Its not already?
As a parent to a gorgeous two-year-old thanks to the miracle of IVF, I can't embolden the words feck YOU enough!
No, still a criminal offence under an 1861 law.

Common sense reigns...
How embarrassing...
That's not exactly true. There have been many amendments which have made it legal in various circumstances. Abortion is widely available across the UK, up to 24 weeks. They're talking about changing the term to bring it down to 22 weeks.
It is a criminal offence which is legal if certain conditions are met. Far too many women are investigated and prosecuted under the law.
Which is the same practically everywhere as far as I know.
Do you have any figures on how many are being prosecuted?
