"People who were never pregnant can be sued because it's impossible to prove you were never pregnant in the first place." fractal levels of wrongness in this hyperbolic statement. The law is bad enough - you don't have to make stuff up.

@martinzen0644 Accusing somebody and proving it are two utterly different things. I could accuse you of being a drug dealer, but there's almost no chance of your house getting raided unless I can provide some evidence.

@Solid_Roots I won't be regretting anything - I don't live in the failing theocratic state that is America. However, the first requirement for someone to launch a prosecution is evidence and standing. The public are certainly not going to have the money to start suing each other, and without evidence, no government agency is going to take on such a case. How would they prove a pregnancy, much less an aborted pregnancy, without the cooperation of the accused? If if they could somehow prove pregnancy, how could they ever prove that the woman did not simply lose the fetus naturally? The law is disturbing enough already, without needing to add alarmism to it.

@andrewbrady6154 I know that people are not routinely having their doors kicked in over unprovable crimes.

@andrewbrady6154 Perhaps you're right Andrew. US law is incomprehensibly moronic and outright evil to me at the best of times.

@andrewbrady6154 Okay, as we're apparently continuing... there are tens of thousands of unenforced, and unenforcable laws on the books.

@andrewbrady6154 Lol - no problem Andrew. Take care bud.

@robingalbraith323 There's a MASSIVE difference between telling the police that an armed person is about to kill people, and reporting that a woman had an abortion. One is a clear and present threat that needs to be taken care of to protect life immediately, the other is a claim of a "crime" that may have happened in the past. "I mean using your logic, wouldn't our court system have like a 100% or close to 100% concivtions?" No, absolutely not. Having sufficient SUSPICION for an investigation ("I thought I smelled drugs in your vehicle"), and for a conviction are two totally different things - especially when a local law can be appealled all the way to the supreme court. Not quite sure why you had to end with a snarky insult there - especially as it is YOU who is evidently lacking in comprehension. Typical Dunning Kruger arrogance - I'd get that checked if I was you.
