and criminalizing miscarriage as manslaughter.

How do we know? Because they've tried it from time to time in the Babble Belt and have been shouted down. They think if they keep at it, they will succeed.

to keep women pregnant and barefoot... No rights for women, period. Next they will be going after women's voting rights and right to work. The work part is a bit of a bugaboo though,, they like that it's has an additive affect on a woman's freedoms when she has to work AND raise children with or without a spouse because, after all. it was her fault for getting pregnant. The movement sees the reproductive rights issue as a major tool for either winning or losing this war on women.
