From the article:

A bill making its way through the North Carolina Legislature states it would be permissible for a person to use deadly force on a woman they believe is seeking an abortion, something Democrats have branded as “wildly extreme.”

The legislation, now only backed by Republican State Representative Keith Kidwell, would classify abortion as first-degree murder and open up the right of another person to defend the life of the unborn baby as they see fit.

“Any person has the right to defend his or her own life or the life of another person, even by the use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person,” the bill reads. “The State has an interest and a duty to defend innocent persons from willful destruction of their lives and to punish those who take the lives of persons, born or unborn, who have not committed any crime punishable by death.”

Nothing says being pro-unborn-child like murdering the mother while she’s pregnant. That’d really protect the fetus.

Who am I kidding? It’s really a cover hoping that someone will storm in and kill the doctors.

    Holds persons willfully seeking to destroy the life of another, at any stage of life, or who succeeds in doing so, accountable for first-degree murder, or attempted murder.

    That’s the part where I see them giving leeway to dumbfucks to just got shoot up abortion clinics. Its not really about killing the women (through they’d let that go by too) its about killing the doctors.

    *Edit: its also about killing the mom who takes her raped daughter across state lines to get an abortion elsewhere

      Oh, I hadn’t considered trying to take out the docs (my initial read was focused on the mothers). That’s an especially bad feel.
