Utah Hates Women
This is insane: Utah is about to criminalize miscarriages:
According Lynn M. Paltrow, executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, what makes Utah’s proposed law unique is that it is specifically designed to be punitive toward pregnant women, not those who might assist or cause an illegal abortion or unintended miscarriage. …
Using the legal standard of “reckless behavior” all a district attorney needs to show is that a woman behaved in a manner that is thought to cause miscarriage, even if she didn’t intend to lose the pregnancy. Drink too much alcohol and have a miscarriage? Under the new law such actions could be cause for prosecution.
“This creates a law that makes any pregnant woman who has a miscarriage potentially criminally liable for murder,” says Missy Bird, executive director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund of Utah. Bird says there are no exemptions in the bill for victims of domestic violence or for those who are substance abusers. The standard is so broad, Bird says, “there nothing in the bill to exempt a woman for not wearing her seatbelt who got into a car accident.”
Such a standard could even make falling down stairs a prosecutable event, such as the recent case in Iowa where a pregnant woman who fell down the stairs at her home was arrested under the suspicion she was trying to terminate her pregnancy.
So if you’re a woman, or a man who loves women, i have the following suggestions: DON’T VISIT OR MOVE TO UTAH.
Believe me, you’re not missing much: the state is mostly desert, it’s run by a crazy cult that wears magical underpants, the social safety net is that same cult, beer is half-strength, there are no bars, and the people are so fucking stupid that they place giant orange flags at the crosswalks in Salt Lake City for pedestrians to carry when crossing the street so they don’t get hit by cars. I have seen this personally. in addition, there’s the polygamy, which is just backward.
In addition, NEVER EVER EVER patronize a Marriott Hotel, owned by the fag-bashing, woman-hating Mormon church.
Utah is a bunch of fucked-up, inbred weirdoes. They never should have been allowed to join the union, PERIOD.
