    Exactly so: if fetal personhood is the law, then any miscarriage is a potential criminal investigation. That's simply a logical corollary.https://twitter.com/KateHarding/status/1522259964747726850 …

    Of course they won't write a law that says "miscarriages are illegal." But if someone they dislike has one, and at any point in their pregnancy they [drank a glass of wine, ate sushi, worked out too vigorously, fell down stairs, etc.], they can prosecute. Keep up. https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1522236419242135555 …

        The path here is pretty clear. 1. Overturn Roe (that's almost certain), 2. Decision or laws affirming fetal personhood (that's gestured towards in Alito's draft & in laws now being pushed) 3. Investigating miscarriages as potential crimes (that's a logical result of point 2.)

        And, what’s the plan for frozen embryos? If they’re alive, they can’t just be frozen, but, we also can’t throw them away.

        And ectopic pregnancies would have to continue, likely killing the mother for a fetus that is not viable.

        Yes, correct. You either believe abortion is murder, no exceptions, or you're really just arguing about where on the pro-choice spectrum the line should be drawn where choice is allowed. Post-Roe, Republicans won't be able to maintain party unity on this like they do under Roe.

        Just from the past few years: 1. In 2019, an Alabama grand jury charged a 5-months-pregnant woman who had been shot in the abdomen, killing the fetus, with manslaughter on the theory that the woman's conduct had provoked the shooting https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2019/06/woman-indicted-in-shooting-death-of-her-unborn-child-charges-against-shooter-dismissed.html … https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1522236419242135555 …

        Harding hit the point, I think. Know how law looks as written, and how it is likely to he enforced by the worst actors.
