Nearly 40 states in the USA have fetal homicide laws on the books. These legislations were largely created so that third-parties could be prosecuted in cases of assault against an expecting mother, but according to the National Advocates for Pregnant Women, only one man has been charged with the crime in South Carolina, while 300 women have been arrested under the law.

This is terrible. 300:1?!? This should never happen, ever. Yet it’s horrifically typical of law in this country: a law created to help ends up being twisted and used to punish and hurt people.  This is exactly why we need to fight and fight hard, to make sure these absurd and abusive ‘personhood’ amendments never gain a foothold.
