The AP has the latest in purveyors of anti-abortion nonsense legislation getting what they deserve:
The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky sued the state of Indiana on Thursday over its recently signed abortion law that bans the procedure if sought because of genetic abnormalities, calling the law unconstitutional.
The federal lawsuit, which also challenges a provision that mandates an aborted fetus be buried or cremated, seeks an injunction to keep the law taking effect on July 1.
"The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly stressed that a woman, not the state, is to determine whether or not to obtain an abortion," ACLU of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said at a news conference midday Thursday. "The State of Indiana's attempt to invade a woman's privacy and to control her decision in this regard is unprecedented and unconstitutional."
Why yes, you did read that right: This "law" requires women seeking abortions to make arrangements for burial or cremation of fetal remains. Because I guess the state of Indiana has nothing more important going on rn?
Hey, remember when Donald Trump, alleged rapist who's also the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, made headlines when he spoke out loud the thing the anti-choice movement has been quietly doing for decades? You know, not the stuff about treating women like shit, but the stuff about how women who have abortions deserve to be punished?
Guess what, champ! Absurd laws like this exist. They're already being punished.
In case I've ruined your Thursday, here's a mesmerizing palate cleanser.
