Bill
continued from page 1
Although the legislation specifical
ly exempts abortion or harm of an
unborn child caused by the mother,
abortion-rights activists say the act
dangerously undermines Roe v.
Wade by elevating the status of an
unborn child to “fetal personhood.”
Lauren Manes, co-director of Stu
dents for Choice, said she thinks
passing the bill will be the first step
down a slippery slope of limiting a
woman’s right to control her repro
ductive life. Manes said she thinks
that once a legal framework is in
place, and Congress recognizes a fe
tus has rights outside of a woman,
anti-abortion advocates will have a
strong footholding to challenge the
legality of abortion.
“They’re kind of exploiting the
situation to further their own goals,
and they have admitted it even in
front of Congress,” Manes said.
She said there are better alterna
tives to punishing criminals who
commit violent acts against pregnant
women, adding that a majority of the
states already have laws established
to punish criminal acts that result in
harm to a pregnancy. Manes said the
anti-abortionists’ use of the Peterson
case to push the bill sheds an unflat
tering light on abortion-rights ac
tivists who oppose the act even
though they are in no way trying to
protect people who commit crimes
against pregnant women.
“Obviously we’re sympathetic
with that situation,” Manes said.
“But the bill is going to introduce
some really dangerous language.”
University senior Bret Jacobson
said he didn’t think the act should
be blocked because holding some
one accountable for killing a fetus
is reasonable.
“It just makes sense to prosecute
for crimes against what would be a
person in the very near future,” Ja
cobson said.
The bill doesn’t permit prosecu
tion against women who consent to
an abortion, or any other actions
committed by the woman, such as
abuse of drugs, that would injure the
fetus. But abortion-rights activists
say they reject the bill because it
seeks to endow fetuses with person
hood and protect unborn children
from threats. A better solution, they
argue, would be to change the word
ing and meaning of the act to pro
tect pregnant women against violent
acts, rather than the fetus.
