First we have the Catholic Church admitting that a fetus is not a person in order to cover their ass in a malpractice lawsuit and now we have a legislator in New Mexico that wants to ban abortions in cases of rape because it would be “tampering with evidence”
House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R), would charge a rape victim who ended her pregnancy with a third-degree felony for “tampering with evidence.”
“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime,” the bill says.
Third-degree felonies in New Mexico carry a sentence of up to three years in prison.
