In Utah, after a pregnant 17-year-old paid a man $150 to beat her in an effort to induce a miscarriage, legislators passed a law that would allow a woman in such circumstances to be charged with homicide.

It always stuns me when people try to legislate misguided stupidity out of existence. Sure, punish them more, that’ll fix the issue…
