    To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

    Land of the free.

    Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

      Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.

      It’s really telling how much the Overton window in the US has shifted that you thought this was sincere to start with.

        TBH it’s more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.

      Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.

      It’s just very hard to prove.
