Republicans in Tennessee have proposed a bill that would allow women who have had an abortion to be sentenced to death.
House Bill 570 allows for the death penalty to be imposed on women who have abortions, as well as charging women “involved in the homicide of her own unborn child” with homicide. It was co-sponsored by state Rep. Jody Barrett and Senator Mark Pody, who sponsored the bill, though it is not yet on the calendar for consideration, according to The Tennessean.
The legislation would allow prosecutors to charge women who obtain abortions with fetal homicide. This crime is punishable by life imprisonment, life without parole, and in some cases, the death penalty.
Tennessee has some of the strictest abortion laws in the U.S. since its “trigger ban” took place in 2022. The Human Life Protection Act prevents all abortions from fertilization and there are no exceptions for rape or incest.

Remember: Women aren't "sows" just because Men are pigs. 
I have a few bucks lying around to invest in something, and this could turn into a real growth industry.
ALSO FUCK THIS MISOGYNIST, PATRIARCHAL BULLSHIT!!!
Up there with Hitler's cabal. 
How about the dudes who slay a date over the fact that she did not 'behave'?
Face it, this is misogyny at its finest. They just want to strut around and fell better about their own slimeball behavior.
I miss certain aspects of living in Tennessee, but dealing with guys who are so insecure that they have to go all 'incel' on the female population just so that they can fee superior is not one of them.
I await the news articles about these dudes and their 'sexual proclivities'. 
I suppose punishing the women that survive with death, makes it certain that becoming pregnant is playing Russian Roulette with their lives. If they have a successful pregnancy that comes to term, congratulations, you're allowed to live.
But if you fail to carry the pregnancy to term and either have a life saving abortion, the Epstein Death Panels, I mean, Republican Death Panels, can still sentence you to death. Yippie! Taliban justice, right there in a nutshell!
We love you, Mr. Trump!
