Republicans wanted fewer abortions and more births. They are getting the opposite.
THE GUARDIAN
This year, Republican lawmakers in at least 10 states introduced bills defining abortion as homicide, and, for the first time, criminalizing both the provider and the patient.
No such bill has passed yet, and anti-abortion organizations are usually quick to renounce them publicly, nervous about widespread opposition. But their passage might not be far off. The bills are based on fetal personhood, the concept of conferring full legal rights to a fetus from conception forward.
