    This. This is exactly what will happen if they extend the "fetal personhood" nonsense to criminal cases.

    Don't think for one second that they will slow the social murder machine down just because somebody said gotcha to them.

      At that point it also creates other doors for kidnapping charges if a woman was trying to escape from a domestic abuser while pregnant. So then the new mother now has to leave the newborn with that same abuser while being sent to prison. Or they could even charge for providing drugs to a minor if they have any traces of any banned drugs like weed. So then if the mother isn't even aware they were pregnant before going to a doctor, any tests could be flagged to alert pigs.
