    Unironically should be legal. I think pregnant women should be able to claim child benefit, too.

      According to the article linked by another commenter, it literally is.

      She was ticketed, but it was then dismissed in court, because she was right.

        Based. Unborn people are still people.

            Should be worldwide. Common sense.

              Body autonomy requires consciousness.

                Therefore anybody younger than about a year old is fair game.

                Foetus are pretty conscious. They kick about in the womb among other things. Saw an ultrasound of an abortion and the poor thing was trying to resist ☹️

                  By your logic, any moving animal is conscious and aware?

      Was going to say…

      A judge agreed with her, and the June ticket was dismissed.

      Still, it is annoying that state and municipal officers can drag you to court in your pregnant condition to prove what the legislature has already decided.

      Almost as though the police exist to harass and obstruct the rights of citizens, rather than to serve and protect them.

        The judge only agreed because if they denied, their stupid abortion laws would have to be revisited.
