New Mexico Bill Would Criminalize Abortions After Rape As 'Tampering With Evidence'

I never thought I'd wish my life away but I'm glad I'm getting older and won't have to live in a world like this for many more decades. This is obscene.

I can't imagine anything like this would pass. A case of rape is not dependent on pregnancy.

I'm glad this bill has little to no chance of being passed. It's quite outrageous.

Besides which, what possible evidence would be tampered with by aborting. I see very little joined up thinking amongst these fringe politicians

The fact that these ass holes are coming up with new and outrageous ways to ban legal abortions makes my stomach turn.

They do these crazy bills just to get attention. I'd like to see how he feels about it if his daughter or wife were raped and became pregnant?
