The Republicans are making it more clear what women's rights are under their regime.
John A. Cosgrove of the Virginia Legislature has submitted a bill (HB 1677) that provides that when a fetal death occurs without medical attendance, it shall be the woman's responsibility to report the death to the proper law-enforcement agency within 12 hours of the delivery. Violation of this section shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. Dkos has a discussion of this.
Now on the opposite coast, a Judge in Washington State has resinded a divorce granted a week earlier because he learned that the woman was pregnant.Fort Worth Star Telegram The father of the fetus is another man and she has not seen her husband for over a year. He was in jail for domestic assault when she became pregnant in June, and is currently in jail in Montana awaiting trial on federal drug charges. If the divorce is not granted, then she will not be able to marry the fetus' father.
We can infer from this that the only purpose for women as far as conservatives are concerned is as producers of babies.
