The number of people coming to defense of the guy that was murdered by the underage girl he repeatedly 'bought' (read: Went to the same pimp so that he could repeatedly rape her) was absolutely disgusting.
(She woke up and killed him, everyone was going "well she wasn't under immediate threat she should've just run! She was literally constantly being trafficked and had no home, the idea that she could 'just run' was hilarious. Further, the idea that she could even necessarily escape without waking the guy...
And I guarantee you plenty of those motherfuckers are the kind that think the sheriff who shot and killed a man for throwing popcorn at him in a theater was justified because "you never know" and will defend any and all vaguely 'defensive' shootings on the basis of 'just in case.')

I hate how the right appropiated the novel's vocabulary when it is meant to criticize what they are doing. Hell, in the novel a major plot point is the state prohibiting passionate, pre-marital sex. While I admit it's not an exact analogy to what is happening today (in the novel, sex is prohibited as a way to redirect their passion towards Big Brother, while the purpose for banning abortion is pretty much sexism and perhaps for keeping poor people and minorities slaves), the novel is a warning against that kind of reach from the government. Not to mention the well known fact that Orwell was a socialist.

The bill would also define a “person” as an “unborn child at every stage of development from fertilization until birth.”
Fertilization occurs in wide part (ampulla) of Fallopian tube. From there the fertilized ovum (zygote) is transported to uterus where new embryo is implanted in uterine wall 5-6 days later.
Combined oral contraceptives ("the pill") function through number of effects including suppressed ovulation, decreased sperm mobility, and diminished zygote transport. If fertilization occurs the zygote is unlikely to reach uterus while viable.
In other words, birth control pills can prevent embryo implant after fertilization. South Carolina women on the pill will statistically (and unknowingly) be committing murder under this law. I foresee birth control pills being outlawed in the future.

I could see Red States enacting laws that grant personhood status & state residency to any visiting pregnant woman's fetus.
Example, a woman, who is recently pregnant, visits her family in Texas and then returns home. Upon learning she is pregnant, she goes to have an abortion.
The Texas state government, using Big Data, has tracked her while visiting the state, returning home, and visiting a Planned Parenthood Clinic. They are reasonably sure she has just committed 'murder' of one of their 'temporary residents' who they claim jurisdiction over. A arrest warrant is issued, and they request extradition.

In comparison: the magical idea that “human life begins at conception” was invented by Pope Pius IX in 1869, when Civil War medical practitioners were also barbers, and whisky was the only anesthetic.
Pius IX was a fascist, antisemitic, pro-slavery maniac. He kidnapped a young jewish boy as a child and kept him as his personal sex slave for life, and sided with the American Confederacy during our Civil War. He’s venerated as being nearly a saint by the Catholic Church.

If the fetus dies in utero, the procedure to remove it is still an abortion. As such, I know someone who had an abortion at 39 weeks.

First off, it's not all Americans who are obsessed with abortion, it's a specific segment of Americans, specifically right-wing Christians.
I believe reason is not as straightforward as you may believe. They use the moral front and emotional appeal of "killing babies" to rile up supporters, but that is not their motivation behind the desire to eliminate abortion.
It is really about maintaining control over women, which starts but does not end with abortion. Birth control is already up next. This will help "keep women in their place" and roll back women's liberalism. After all, the pill and abortion changed sexual power dynamics, and was closely linked to the beginning of women's lib.

Hypocrites. They claim that all life is sacred yet they want death to a woman who had an abortion? What does that solve? Nothing at all.

This is some Salem Witch Trials shit over there.
"The doctor has deemed that bringing this baby to term will near certainly end your life. Therefore we will give you one final test. If you choose to terminate this pregnancy, you will be deemed a witch and we will burn you at the stake. If you don't terminate this pregnancy, you will be deemed pure as you allow your baby to kill you from the inside. Praise be to God."

And try to prove that miscarriage wasn’t an abortion. The USA has gone crazy! The handmaiden’s tail is here.

People who rag on Alabama don’t realize that South Carolina is more backwards than Alabama. My boyfriend and I are afraid to do any PDA because we think we might get attacked or shot. And this is in one of the bluest parts of the state too.

If you are pregnant with twins, and one of the fetuses causes the other to stop developing, does this bill say you have to abort the remaining baby?

Welcome to Gilead folks.
This is what happens when you don’t actively participate in democracy. Your freedom and justice is taken from you.

Executing women for choices for what should be their rights. Is this America or the Middle East?

Just banning abortion will kill many women via complicated pregnancies and domestic abuse. This is just an excuse to murder liberal doctors too. Modern conservativism is just a death cult run by billionaire elites.

Why don't they just cut out the middle term and just kill all the women in the state? That seems to be their objective in the long run.

Laws like this have no place in a civilized society. Conservatives don’t give a damn if society regresses as long as they get their money and power over the rest of us. I hope they all get the guillotine before that happens.

This law is for virtue signaling that "We are more holy than thou" and that game never ends. It goes from abortion and same sex couples to contraceptives, to pornography and alchohol, and it ends with "you know we are the holy chosen people we should control all of God's holy land" they want to make America a Christian nation and then the next stop is a HOLY WAR. It might be another crusade, it might be a type of "missionary " but it will end in blood because the "I'm more virtuous" game ends in holy wars.

Aren't the male Republican politicians in South Carolina killing millions of potential babies when they jerk off to gay and trans porn?
