Nine Month Pregnancy Internment Camps- The next big pro-life idea?

Where does this crazy shit stop? They are giving more and more rights and deference to the fetus. Logically we should just put pregnant women in internment camps for the duration of their pregnancy to insure that the fetus is safe and properly cared for.

Of course, once it is born it can starve to death for all they care.

I suspect that the next big idea that anti-abortion fanatics will spring are pregnancy tests for women traveling abroad. After all, they don't want women to dodge abortion restrictions by going abroad, do they? Their legislation (or regulation) would require women to get tested BEFORE they go abroad and then AFTER they return. If they don't come back to the US with a pregnancy-positive test or a little baby in arms, they'll be subject to arrest and prosecution for having an illegal abortion abroad.

"Homes For Unwed Mothers" and those who were brave enuf and told their stories-some of them were cruel, cold institutions and horrific experiences. Even those mothers who wanted their babies were not even allowed to even see them.

There was great shame and scorn dealt from society toward these women.
I won't "go back" to that time. I have grand-daughters who do not deserve this.

Most were run by the Catholic Church. There's a movie about them in Ireland - The Magdelene Sisters.

And the women can pay for their care by picking crops thus addressing the undocumented worker situation. It's win-win!!
