Insane Legislator Says Not to Worry, Rape Victims Who Want An Abortion: We Won't Charge You With Felony Tampering With Evidence, Just Your Doctor | Common Dreams
"After much uproar, New Mexico attorney, Right to Life board member and GOP Rep. Cathrynn Brown is walking back as fast as she can from her proposed bill to charge rape survivors with "tampering with evidence" - a felony carrying a possible three-year prison sentence - if they choose to abort a rapist's fetus. No no, Brown says: It was "an error - I missed that one" to suggest the bill would prosecute victims of rape, who she wants to "protect." Actually Brown, whose Facebook page sports an iconic photo of a gun resting on a Bible in front of the Constitution, just wants to hammer those who might help the victim - ie: doctors or nurses "facilitating" an abortion for her. Let them go to jail for "intent to destroy evidence of the crime." Wanna see a crime? This person in a position of power. Alas, she isn't alone. More travesties in many states here."
