And this confusing BS is why men with no medical training shouldn't legislate women's healthcare procedures.

Is this part of the claim where conservative males support women's rights?

Fear mongering?
Shaking a stick at the boogey man that doesn't exist?

How about you let me know what the actual point is?

 

[aociswundumho]

Although West Virginia law does not require women to disclose their miscarriages, Truman has encouraged women to tell law enforcement about their miscarriages in order to avoid suspicion surrounding their pregnancy loss.

JFC, this really shows that in a democracy, there are no limits to government power. Note how this prick turns the presumption of innocence on its head, since there is no legal requirement for women to report. He's saying women have to prove their innocence, which aside from being ethically repugnant, completely undermines medical privacy.

This is what happens when the unborn are given the same rights as the born. If a driver accidentally kills a child, he must report it and remain at the scene. If a mother's born child accidentally dies, she can't hide evidence, bury the child and notify no one. These are natural progressions of law. It's why some states came to the realization that if an embryo has the same rights as a born child, then it would be illegal to put it into stasis in a bath of liquid nitrogen.

The pro-life position is built on a house of conflicting cards.

Watts is an inhuman monster who checked herself out of the hospital against medical advice twice and tried to hide her miscarriage by plunging her 21-week fetus down the toilet and clogging the plumbing with the remains.

A law must identify those it seeks to protect to be valid. A law that fails to identify and protect all is a failed law. If the law didn't require live births to be certified, then children could be abused, abandoned, murdered, and the state wouldn't know.

A failed pregnancy can occur before a woman knows she's pregnant. Indeed, a large percentage of embryos fail to attach. A law that gives the same rights to a zygote as it does to a born child needs to account for these failed pregnancies like all others, if it is to be consistent. If the law has a purpose in protecting born children from their mothers, and the unborn are to be treated with the same rights as the born, then an abusive pregnant woman, who would have her born children taken from her by the state, would need to be incarcerated and monitored, in the interest of the personhood of the unborn.

Simply put, if a fertilized egg has the same rights as a born child, then the moment of fertilization is when certification is required, if the law is to be consistent.

Pro-life is a house of cards.

Even if personhood is assigned at birth, it doesn't take a genius to see how disposing of a late-term miscarriage (even if the death occurred before birth) can create evidence of infanticide.
