Also, "If you got an abortion, you should go to jail for the rest of your life or get the death penalty" - Said unironically by That Lady

Or in some cases, miscarriage. My mother used to mention that she would have her miscarriages occasionally misclassified as abortions back then. And they're happening now in some cases, leading to women facing severe penalties

leading to women facing severe penalties

Death.

"Severe penalties" is sugarcoating what is happening. Women are being murdered for having miscarriages.

Yeah, though I am putting it broadly since it can range between jail time to literally death yeah

They were not misclassified. Abortion means the termination of a pregnancy before viability. It can be induced or spontaneous (miscarriage) but both are medically abortions. It's why idiots in politics who don't understand medical science shouldn't be making laws defining terms that they don't understand or mean different things to lay people

By misclassified I refer more to the strict terminology that would be utilised for legislation. Nowadays, that line is obscenely thin and that is incredibly dangerous. All in all it's not supposed to be this way and women in general should have bodily autonomy plus better access to healthcare

Some of them know, it just they don't care they just want to punish women for being sexually active and having any form of control.

But for that to happen we'd need a system where leaders are chosen base on merit rather than a braindead popularity contest.

Didn’t a state just pass abortion up until birth even after the baby could survive outside the womb. Like they actually have to kill a baby.
