What does everyone think about Arkansas and Oklahoma introducing bills that would criminalize women who have abortions?

There are some points in the article that indicate how this would be a bad idea.

• Medication abortion and miscarriage are medically indistinguishable.
• It could discourage women having pregnancy complications from seeking care if they are worried about being scrutinized.
• An investigation would have to occur to find out whether or not the pregnancy loss was intentional which means every women presenting to a medical facility with symptoms of miscarriage would have to be investigated by law enforement.

I understand why some people don't like the idea of abortion, or those that are against elective abortions past the first trimester. However, the only way I could see abortion being a prosecutable offense of the pregnant women would to investigate every women in Arkansas or Oaklahoma, who's had a miscarriage. It seems to me that would be a major invasion of privacy, and traumatic for women suffering a miscarriage.

I think it's a great idea honestly that way no murders innocent babies. Unless its rape or incest. You shouldn't kill a baby just because you decided to spread legs and not think oh I'm not gonna get pregnant I feel like no one knows what safe sex is.

So in other words treat every woman who's had a miscarriage as a criminal and subject them to an investigation because that is the only way to determine whether a pregnancy loss is a true miscarriage or a medication abortion. Personally I'd be pissed to see any women I love have to be treated like a criminal while going through something painful like a miscarriage. Oh and by the way I may not like abortion in the 2nd or third trimester but honeslty I don't believe it's a babt yet in the first trimester. I realize that you probably do so I respect that but there really is no scientific basis for it, it's most only a religious or personal view. And if you really think life begins at conception you would have to think abortion is wrong in every instance because what you're saying is that life is equally or more important than that the mother's even in cases rape, incest, health or life.

Lazy Lawmakers ignore science and plow ahead trying to push their religious beliefs onto entire populations, ignoring women's needs, advocating for coerced pregnancy & forced birth. These abhorrent policies help NO ONE.

I think someone’s reproduction is their own business and not the state’s. Fuck this fascist crap.

The reason why it’s a good idea is so we can isolate conservatives into their own states. This policy will drive out democrats so if you don’t like this then move somewhere else like California
