I find the mere thought of this law to be sickening, but I do wonder this much: since so many states already make rape victims pay for the rape kits, how do they expect to fund these fetus investigations?
Will the women who miscarried have to foot the bill for the necessary lab tests? Will it be an extra expense on insurance companies (the same companies that Republicans claim are going to go bankrupt due to Obama’s health care plan and its associated costs)? Or will taxpayers that are already being stripped off basic services have to pay for the costs? I wonder if they have given any thought to this.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
