But we already know the answer to that. The legal experts have already examined it. Poked & prodded. The rapist wouldn't even have to sue as abortions would be illegal across the board. This law has no exceptions for rape, incest or viability of the fetus & it was done this way on purpose.
If a zygote = human & every unexplained death requires investigation, every miscarriage would technically need to be investigated to see if "foul-play" was involved.
This is a law that would make IUDs & some forms of pill contraceptives illegal. I.e. if any fertilized zygote is equivalent to a human being then preventing it from implanting in the uterine wall would be tantamount to manslaughter. This bill is that broad & poorly worded.
It would also make In Vitro fertilization illegal.
It's a bad law. I know you bible-thumpers have a hard on for trying to get around the Right to Privacy, that basically enables the legality of abortion, but this way isn't going to work.
Of course, making birth control & IVF illegal would probably be the absolute fastest way to destroy the neo-con / dominionist movement, but boy howdy are they short sighted.
