All females over the age of 10 will be subjected to pregnancy checks (blood, urine, or ultrasound wands) as they attempt to cross into a blue state.
Try to take a pregnant woman over the border and find yourself arrested and the female imprisoned until delivery (at least).
Tell me I'm wrong, I'll wait.

(576 posts)In Poland, (abortion is illegal) when a woman goes to a doctor/hospital for ANY reason, she is checked for pregnancy. If she is, that fact is entered in her digital file. If she does not end up giving birth, the health facility will know.

(4,170 posts)that question was asked of me anytime I sought medical care.
Its fairly standard.
This is new in Poland and solely to track if a woman was pregnant and still is so she can be charged if she does not give birth.

(14,061 posts)Women will have to prove the circumstances behind miscarriages and doctors will have to report miscarriages to the state for investigation. But, I guess thats okay because a right to privacy isnt expressly guaranteed in the Constitution.
All the horrible implications of this will become clearer over time.
This country is no longer at the brink. Its gone off the damned cliff.
