Republicans are for government so small that it can fit in your vagina.

New Mexico Bill Criminalizes Abortions After Rape As 'Tampering With Evidence'

They also plan to ban you from going to the hospital after being hit by a car or buying new stuff after your house gets robbed. Wouldn't want to tamper with that evidence...

That's some retarded shit.

I'm pretty sure they can get all the DNA they need from the fetus, basically anything they could get from the actual living baby.....That story is just so damn sleazy and revolting, outlining that it includes statutory rape and incest.... I wish we had a party that valued smaller, less invasive government, rather than one that wants to know who I fuck, how I fuck, what happens after the fucking, what I eat, smoke, drink, breathe, read, watch, who I talk to and about what, where I am at all times......etc. Heinrich Himmler would be green with envy if he were alive today....

Two questions, is it for legitimate rape only? Will the same standards be applied to incest?

Why doesn't anyone preserve specimens in jars of formaldehyde anymore?

Also, if the woman goes home and changes her clothes how will they ever really know what she was wearing?

It's specifically geared for it, and the cunt even says so. Sometimes I like to pplay Devil's Advocate in order to make a point, but I would never have even thought of anything so ludicrous, and that it could be believable.....

A Republican lawmaker in New Mexico introduced a bill on Wednesday that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial.
House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R), would charge a rape victim who ended her pregnancy with a third-degree felony for "tampering with evidence."
“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime," the bill says.

Third-degree felonies in New Mexico carry a sentence of up to three years in prison.
Pat Davis of ProgressNow New Mexico, a progressive nonprofit opposing the bill, called it "blatantly unconstitutional" on Thursday.
“The bill turns victims of rape and incest into felons and forces them to become incubators of evidence for the state,” he said. “According to Republican philosophy, victims who are ‘legitimately raped’ will now have to carry the fetus to term in order to prove their case.“

The bill is unlikely to pass, as Democrats have a majority in both chambers of New Mexico's state legislature.
UPDATE: 12:25 p.m. -- Brown said in a statement Thursday that she introduced the bill with the goal of punishing the person who commits incest or rape and then procures or facilitates an abortion to destroy the evidence of the crime.
“New Mexico needs to strengthen its laws to deter sex offenders,” said Brown. “By adding this law in New Mexico, we can help to protect women across our state.”
