Missouri proposes outlawing abortion for ectopic pregnancies

Perpetrators would face up to 30 years in prison. Since ectopic pregnancies are universally fatal to both the ZEF and the pregnant person, this law if enacted will result in needless death while not saving a single ZEF.

If so-called "pro-life" people say that they are also concerned about women, they should oppose this law. But they're silent, leading to the conclusion that they support it.

Some of them aren’t even calling themselves "pro-life" anymore. Now some of them have the colossal gall to call this abolitionism. I remember being furious when I volunteered at PP and some of them would be singing spirituals ! It’s like those privileged right-wingers who want to make comparisons every time they don’t get their way, to the Holocaust.
Makes me angrier than I can coherently communicate.

@bijouxbroussard They like to equate themselves with the original abolitionists. What's ironic is the modern pro-life movement is a direct outgrowth of the segregationist movement - it's literally the same people. And of course segregation itself was a remnant of slavery and Jim Crow. If pro-lifers could be transported back to early America, they'd be on the side of the slave owners.

And calling abortion "genocide" is ludicrous. ZEFs aren't a specific religious or ethnic group and the goal of legal abortion isn't to annihilate the entire human race.
