Lawmakers in several Republican-led states have introduced legislation promoting “fetal personhood,” the idea that fetuses and embryos are entitled to the same rights as people. But critics say fetal personhood laws create legal chaos and have ripple effects beyond abortion, from contraception access to fertility treatments, tax credits to the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes.
Not the only next step. They are also looking to ban contraceptives. IUDs will be up first because some believe life begins at fertilization.
I didn’t think they let it get to fertilization. The copper ones kill sperm with ions and the others, I thought, were just slow release hormonal BC.
How the fuck would they even do that. Stopping fertilization isn’t killing a ‘person’ as defined by them either.
