This law greatly upsets me. I am going to share something I rarely share... I have had three miscarriages, the last one being at the begging of October. There was nothing to do save any of the pregnancy. I have certain medical issues that makes it hard to carry a pregnancy to term... These laws would make something I have no control over seem like some horrible crime. Having a miscarriage is tragic enough, especially if you truly wanted to have a child. Making a bigger deal out of it (which is what i get from the articles) buy criminalizing it will more than likely lead to far more problems that they expect.

In regards to the birth control issues with having eggs have rights, it will just lead to more unwanted pregnancy and more pregnancy that may be complicated and lead to miscarriage which will just lead to worse and worse things.

My great-grandmother was a suffragette and worked hard in Massachusetts for women's right. She drove a car when women rarely drove, she worked outside of the home when that was unheard of. She is one of my heroes and she did all these great things so her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren could live in a world where women were equal to men.

This whole thing makes me so angry and I am so happy and proud of you Pris for sharing all these articles on it and informing people like myself who would have never known about this. I hope that this does not pass because it will destroy all the hard work the women have done to prove ourselves equal to men.

*sigh* what is the world coming too really.

Yes, exactly my feelings on this.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. <3
