The Governor of Utah is a misogynist and terrorist. Charging that women are guilty of homicide for miscarriages, as though someone other than the woman knows what is happening to her body. Miscarriages happen for many reasons as any proper obstetrician will attest. However. Governor Utah signed into law a bill charging women and girls with murder for miscarriages if caused by "intentional or knowing" acts. An article written by Rose Aguilar states: "...the true intent of the legislation and addresses those situations in which the termination of a pregnancy is intentional and is not conducted at a physician's direction." All women who fear losing total control of their bodies and lives to these power-Nazis should read here Who decides what is within a woman's control? Is this the only solution to Utah's problem with pregnant women who do not wish to become parents?. Who decides what is intentional or knowing? Is to be a judge or jury of her peers? Is this what America has come to be? "Democratic Senator Ben McAdams, one of just four of 29 senators who voted against both pieces of legislation (three Democratic female senators voted for both), says the revised bill still sets a dangerous precedent that would "open up a Pandora’s box" of unintended legal consequences that will be hard to reverse. "Even the word 'knowingly' will result in unintended consequences," he told AlterNet".
Indeed, in today's world we have learned a lot but we have not accurately learned to know what is unspoken in anyone's mind. Hopefully, somewhere in this country there will be wiser people who will see that this Bill is overturned or rewritten to something enforceable with .little room for error. I can only pray it doesn't reach our seemingly clueless, unfair and unbalanced, current Supreme Court .
