You either have control of your life and actions, or you don't. Do we really want a society that questions whether a woman drinking is pregnant and feels entitled to challenge her? And if the "special police" aren't satisfied with her answers they can arrest her? This isn't a slippery slope - it's a shear fucking cliff!

Make no mistake, the right wing will happily shove women back into the kitchen with these laws.
