The sponsor of the bill to strip women of their rights and freedoms over their own body said it quite plainly:
The [Anti-Woman] bill’s sponsor, Republican state Senator Todd Lakey, said during one debate that the health of the mother “weighs less, yes, than the life of the child”, referring to the foetus.”

Todd seems to have missed one thing, however, if the mom dies so does the baby. I mean it’s great and all that he thinks that the fetus, which is basically a parasitic organism feeding off the mother that’s nurturing it, is important but he seems to be missing a basic point. Until about 28 weeks it can’t live without the mother, so basically what he’s saying is: if a woman’s life is in danger, he’d rather she die than live on without the potential baby (fetuses’ can self-terminate in the case where they’re just not viable).
Todd you’re a fucking asshole. I hope live has a miserable end in store for you. Anyone who would condemn a person who is in pain, and suffering to death rather than violate your notional rules of “what is right” is not human. They’re shit.
