Not going to live tweet this whole hearing but the GOP doctor witness, Monique Wubbenhorst, said "elective abortion is intentional feticide" so yeah, they think the fetus is a person with legal rights—this isn't about safety.
Also urged "enforcement of existing regulations such as the Comstock Act"

NEW: Last week, some OBGYNs received a strange survey via email. The email used inflammatory terms like "dismemberment" and "feticide," and the survey website suggested affiliation with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. ACOG tells Autonomy News it sent a cease and desist:
OBGYNs Sent ‘Highly Biased’ Survey By Group That Targeted Abortion Pills
A group of anti-abortion doctors claims it’s researching the “moral and professional complexity” of abortion. Their study raises red flags following other junk science and retractions.

The charge here against the man is feticide, not homicide, and I have seen that before. The cases that have made people really alarmed are when women who have abortions or miscarriages are charged with feticide or fetal homicide. (And the woman here needs medical care, not criminal charges)

A longer description of the survey says “current studies do not distinguish physician beliefs regarding key aspects of abortion, such as medically indicated or elective, dismemberment or intact delivery of the fetus, and medically indicated early delivery vs. true feticide.”
This isn't on the level

The survey doesn’t appear to have gone through appropriate ethical review. The National Abortion Federation told its members not to respond.
The survey is an attempt at “manipulating the actual medical community against an essential part of health care,” said @prh.org fellow Elisabeth Sulger.

Definitely bad for public health. Also the pregnant woman here probably shouldn't have been charged with feticide; looks like the state exempts the pregnant person

Off topic, but also kinda not off topic (women sometimes have abortions without ever letting the sperm donor know about the pregnancy, for a reason) - feticide is a separate crime, separate charge, because the State of Georgia apparently recognizes that a fetus is not a person. Good to know.

...ignored or tolerated. You might even want executions to be illegal.
This post is not about abortion, rather it's about feticide. The thing people who are literally, actually, pro-life care about. Current laws aren't written to reflect their beliefs, but those of the hypocritical pro-birth right

It maybe seems counterintuitive, but feticide and fetal harm laws can also be weaponized similarly, to punish women—wrote a bit about that recently: newrepublic.com/article/1811...

Dana Sussman, with Pregnancy Justice says 97% of criminal charges for pregnancy outcomes she’s tracked have been for “murder, manslaughter, feticide, child endangerment, abuse of a corpse,” even as none of these charges are even meant to criminalize pregnancy outcomes."
