She doesn't even need to be pregnant, you just have to claim to believe she was about to commit an abortion. Free women murders for everyone!

"Pro life"

Lemme get this right...

If you see someone trying to kill a woman while claiming she's trying to get an abortion, you can kill this attacker without issue under the legal classification of acting to protect two people, including a soon-born. Is this what Republicans want? To facilitate the legal argument to kill right-wingers? Because I'd be totally fine with that.

Wouldn't the use of deadly force to prevent the abortion actually aid the abortion?

Doesn’t using deadly force on a pregnant woman defeat the purpose entirely?

From a practical standpoint how does one prevent the death of an unborn child via the use of deadly force against its mother?

Is this just a way to shoot your pregnant mistress for free?

"Republicans hate women"

I think even republicans know that republicans hate women at this point

Republicans hate everything. They're a brainless death cult only outclassed by Christians as a whole.

On the flip side, it says that a person can use force, including deadly force, to prevent death or harm to themselves or another person.

So hypothetically, your doctor, is using lethal force, to prevent the person inside you from harming you.

Totally legal as the law is written.

IANAL ; best option is to move out of regressive states, and set the place on fire before you leave.

As long as you say “he’s abortioning right at me!” you can kill em and ain’t nothing Johnny Law can do about it

Fortunately, the thing says it's a bill, and not that it's been passed into law.

If a state does pass a law like that, it's hard to see why any sane woman would want to remain in that state.

It doesn't sound like Hate, it sounds like Slavery.

Hate would be activelly going out and trying to kill women, whilst punishing them for not letting their bodies be used by others as objects is, IMHO, much more a Slaver's take on other human beings.

A Slaver's motivation would also be pretty in tune with Tradition for Republican members of the power elites in North Carolina.

More accurately: someone raped a 14 year old girl, the pregnancy has become ectopic. The punishment for trying to save her life is worse than the person who raped a 14 year old.

Is it normal in the USA to allow the general population to use deadly force? That's fucked up.

I swear to god they’re trying to legislate a civil war. They preach us vs them political rhetoric and want everyone running around with a gun. What a shit time to call yourself an American, but then again I’m not sure there ever was a good time.

Yo, everyone, this is aimed at the doctors, regardless of their gender.

Here is the proposed text of the NC state constitutional amendment affirming personhood at conception, then including:

Any person has the right to defend his or her own life or the life of another person, even by the use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.

Here is the NC Dept. of Health and Human Service’s required abortion information describing the state’s abortion laws. They ban after 12 weeks, with exceptions for rape and incest before 20 weeks, and life-threatening anomalies before 24 weeks.

Here from the Raleigh Observer quoting state democratic lawmaker Rep. Julie von Haefen:

Von Haefen said the bill is a distraction from other bills being voted on and passed, including multiple constitutional amendments concerning unions and taxes, at least some of which will be on the ballot for North Carolinians to weigh. She said the amendments “are being used to drive conservative voter turnout.”

And here is my take: NC state republicans use women’s healthcare as a political pawn for pushing anti-worker and anti-tax interests, which neatly encapsulates the US culture war for the past 60 years. This bill will not pass, because it is insane, but it may succeed in its intent: looting the pockets of the people of NC.

Killing live people - women, children, POCs, poor, other countries, etc - has always been acceptable and even promoted by Republicans. It's only ending potential pregnancies when they "care" about lives. Except of course when it's their wife, mistress, daughter who wants an abortion, then it's ok.

This could be a completely serious Orphan Crushing Machine solution in the minds of conservative basic dickheads.

"If somebody is already gonna go out in a blaze of glory, why not point them towards doctors and women's healthcare rather than schools? Nailed it."
