Women aren’t people in the GOP, so it doesn’t really matter to them. “Life” is a narrowly defined window of approximately 40 weeks. Once that being breathes dry air, it ceases to matter.
Because the cruelty is the point. Dead mothers, dead babies, unwanted children in abusive situations… none of it matters. The point is to be as cruel as possible to as many as possible.

What do you want the morons to say? They don’t understand how any of this works, they never understood that pregnancy and birth were dangerous and it’s not like they care to find out about those icky girly parts (let’s all take a moment to remember our least favorite nickname for women’s genitalia that we’ve heard men use).
Forced birthers hate women.

Legislators in Baton Rouge added the provision as a last-minute amendment to a Senate bill that would criminalize an abortion if someone gives a pregnant woman the pills without her consent, a scenario of “coerced criminal abortion” that nearly occurred with one senator’s sister.
A pregnant woman obtaining the two drugs “for her own consumption” would not be at risk of prosecution. But, with the exception of a health-care practitioner, a person helping her get the pills would be.
Louisiana already bans both medication and surgical abortions except to save a patient’s life or because a pregnancy is “medically futile.” Lawmakers just rejected adding exceptions for teenagers under 17 who become pregnant through rape or incest.
