Last week the
abortion debate took a turn down crazy street when Georgia lawmaker Bobby Franklin introduced a bill in the state legislature with the potential to find a miscarriage criminal, and a state mandate to track and investigate all pregnancy.
The bill, HB 1, would make the sexual health a matter of public concern. The measure would make abortion the legal equivalent of murder, and force the criminal investigation of women who suffer miscarriages.
The bill would classify the removal of a fetus under any circumstance other than during a live birth or to remove a dead fetus as "prenatal murder." Doctors and hospitals would be forced to report miscarriages to authorities, who would then have to investigate if the miscarriage occurs without medical attention.
Many find the bill to be draconian. Many believe that for the state to investigate all unsupervised miscarriages as a crime scene is to take misogyny to a new level, and breathes new life into the notion that women really are nothing but chattel, second class citizens to be monitored and disciplined by the state.
Many find the proposal a preposterous invasion into a woman's constitutionally protected right to privacy. No surprise, Bobby Franklin is a Republican. His official biography on the Georgia General Assembly's website reads:
“Representative Franklin has been called ‘the conscience of the Republican Caucus’ because he believes that civil government should return to its biblically and constitutionally defined role."
