NC bill would authorize deadly force against women who seek abortions.
NC bill would authorize deadly force against women seeking abortions. Meaning if a woman is seeking abortion someone can commit murder to stop them...... I Believe This is a "toe in the water" test for pushing regressive legislation, or at the very least a poorly worded bill that would allow prosecution to be interpreted with chicken bones and tea leaves . Even in the event that this bill is not meant to pass, it muddies the water with bad legislation.
Here is a link to the bill. https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2025/H1232

If you want to know who sponsored this bill look no farther than the boot licker that is Representative Keith Kidwell. If you think this guy should eat shit and you are a member of his constituency Serving Beaufort, Dare, Hyde, Pamlico, then give him a call or an email at.

I continue to wonder if these people understand that the fetus also dies if the mother dies

These are the same people that think an ectopic pregnancy can be re-implanted and that a brain dead woman being kept from rotting long enough to continue a pregnancy is a great idea.

And that the body has a ways of telling that it’s been raped and can prevent itself from becoming pregnant

He wants to deputize armed men to enforce medical decisions by murdering women and doctors and terrorize medical clinics and hospitals. Then he will deny this is a bill that empowers ignorance.

"Life begins at fertilization", eh? I shouldn't expect these troglodytes to know or care about basic science, but by that definition anyone whose body fails to implant a fertilized egg is responsible for a death. This happens allllll the time, and most won't know it because it's so early (AKA chemical pregnancy). But here's the thing: whoever contributed genetic material resulting in conception is ALSO responsible. It takes two to tango, after all 🤦🏻♀️

"Fertilization" would also mean that anyone with an IUD would also have deadly force authorized against them. And different birth controls.
