Why PA MUST Support Joe Sestak for Senate
Commenter Glomarization:
Hey, at least Toomey is (minimally) intellectually honest about what happens when you implement an abortion ban. Now, the real question is whether he’s willing to imprison the women who get abortions as murderers, or at least accomplices. How about the support staff, friends and family who help arrange transportation, payment, and aftercare? Whee! There we go down the slippery slope!
Someone really ought to ask Toomey about that, and whether he would apply the policies in El Salvador to Pennsylvania:
El Salvador, however, has not only a total ban on abortion but also an active law-enforcement apparatus — the police, investigators, medical spies, forensic vagina inspectors and a special division of the prosecutor’s office responsible for Crimes Against Minors and Women, a unit charged with capturing, trying and incarcerating an unusual kind of criminal. Like the woman I was waiting to meet.
[...]
The penal code detailing the Crimes Against the Life of Human Beings in the First Stages of Development provides stiff penalties: the abortion provider, whether a medical doctor or a back-alley practitioner, faces 6 to 12 years in prison. The woman herself can get 2 to 8 years. Anyone who helps her can get 2 to 5 years. Additionally, judges have ruled that if the fetus was viable, a charge of aggravated homicide can be brought, and the penalty for the woman can be 30 to 50 years in prison.
THAT is what will happen to women in Pennsylvania and America if people Pat Toomey win the election and have the opportunity to pass their screwball ideas into law. If you disagree, and if you’re reading this blog you probably do, Vote for Joe Sestak.
I am currently on hold with his Allentown office, where I asked just this question. An aide is going to get back to me (or not, as the case may be).
