What Republican War on Women? 0
This one:
“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.

“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 considered unlikely to pass, but it serves well to illustrated the perverse and perverted view that some Republicans have of women: that they are good for only one thing.
This reduces the human victim of the crime to an evidence incubator.
Philip Roth wouldn’t have made this up and Krafft-Ebing (we’re back in that territory again) would not have believed it.
