Legalizing the Murder of Abortion Docs, Women

The Republican war against women now involves actual firearms.

South Dakota's legislature is considering a bill that would legalize killing someone to prevent the harm of a fetus--a measure which could be used to defend people who kill abortion doctors. The legislation changes the legal definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killing a person "while resisting an attempt to harm" the killer's fetus, or the fetus of the killer's parent, child, spouse, or partner. That's even in cases when the pregnant person wants an abortion, Mother Jones' Kate Sheppard reports.

This is the "right to life" party. The pro-life party. And they're promoting the murder of people who attain a legal and constitutionally-protected medical procedure.
