Based on Raw Story article Rep Silk wants abortion equal to capital or 1st degree murder with NO exceptions to save the life of the mother. That would mean doctors and probably the woman and any other helper could face life in prison or the death penalty for ending a pregnancy. His bill is personhood on steroids.
We can count on a tsunami of bills from the religious right and the GOP that will jail women if the have an abortion. So if you have an ectopic pregnancy then tough luck.

(113,274 posts)Though rarely shy about their hate, since Trump, and even with Bush, the nutcases have gotten bolder and bolder.
They won't be happy until we're out of the work force, in miserable marriages, and dropping babies once a year.
We are to been seen, verbally, physically, and sexually abused, and to remain quiet about it all.
Because they really do believe that's our place in life.
Otherwise, they wouldn't blame the victims of rape and domestic assault.
They wouldn't attack single mothers. Going so far to even say single mothers need to find a husband.
They wouldn't mock us for not wanting to be sexually harassed.
They wouldn't try to prevent a women from getting birth control and a needed medical procedure.
And they wouldn't constantly attack those on necessary and needed social services.
They wouldn't pay us less.
They say how much they hate women all the time. And what they hate the most is they can't control us, and they very much want to control us.

These assholes are so intent on sending us all back to the 18th century, they are really trying to reach. If this had come out as an ISIS pronouncement, many of the same people who would support this in our country would be screeching like wounded howler monkeys.
I am much less concerned about wacka-doo Islamists than I am shithouse rat crazy Christianists! (BTW, spell check approves of the last word! Who knew?!)
