TALLAHASSE, Florida (AP) – A modern law of Kansas and a guideline in Florida, which is supported by opponents of abortion, the critics as movements towards embryos and see the same rights as the women they wear.
The Republican super majorities of the legislature of Kansas overridden the veto of the democratic governor of Laura Kelly on Thursday to request that child support payments cover embryos and fetuses and give an income tax break for pregnancy or a dead birth. In Florida, the legislators present a legislation that would enable parents to apply for civil damage to the illegal death of an embryo or fetus.
After tipping over Roe v. Wade by the US Court Court push anti-abdominal activists throughout the country to anchor the rights of Feten, with the ultimate goal of the nationwide termination of abortion. The legislator who makes the proposals describe them as support for modern parents or families in need of protection.
“This legislation is about being compassionate with pregnant women,” said the Rep. Rep. Rep. Susan Humphries in Kansas on Thursday.
Many states already give the fetus some legal rights
The right to pregnancy, which is committed to pregnant people, found that last year at least 17 countries had laws in the books that gave the fetus the rights of people in criminal or civil law. In most states, including Florida and Kansas, a person can be exposed to criminal charges because of the death of a fetus.
Georgia and Utah offer income tax outbreaks for fetuses, and Kansas will soon enable parents to apply for an additional dependent tax deduction for children for their personal income taxes for the year that a child is born and a deduction for a dead birth.
Like Georgia, Kansas becomes a divorced or single commitment of a parent to pay “from the date of the conception” to support children. The modern law comes into force on July 1.
“It is really common sense to support women,” said Republican Senator Kellie Warren, a supporter of the Kansas measure.
The Texas Senate approved a proposal for child support at the beginning of this month, and the legislators introduced proposals this year in Missouri, Montana, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Allow illegal deaths to cover fetusen
The legislative proposal in Florida would enable parents to complain about the illegal death of an embryo or a fetus in every phase of pregnancy, and according to the sponsor of the law, juries could award cash damage for wages that a fetus would have earned.
The draft law has released the entire house and was approved by its second Senate Committee on Thursday, although the hearing of the third and final committee is not yet planned.
Florida is one of the six states that, according to a legislative analysis, do not allow any complaints about the wrong death of a fetus. Kansas already has a law like that that is considered Florida.
In Florida, the republican senator Erin Grall said to her colleagues in the measure that it is not an abortion.
“It’s no secret. Everyone in the room knows where I stand in life,” said Grall. “For me it is about parity in our civil justice system.”
An expert sees a “well -defined and very public game book”
Critics see both Florida’s proposals and in Kansas as part of the efforts to enable the states to prohibit abortion – as the U.S.’s Supreme Court in its decision of 2022 to prohibit abortion across the country as a violation of the constitutional rights of a fetus or embryo.
Mary Ziegler, a professor of the University of California, Davis Law, who has published six books in the past 10 years, and the history of the US abbreviation directive said this year’s measurement in Florida correspond to a “fairly well-defined and very public game book” in order to build a legal framework for a national abortion ban.
“It is about creating a precedent for the recognition of fetal rights in a context that is constitutionally recognized to recognize fetal rights,” she said.
Florida looked at a similar illegal death measure last year, but it failed with regard to a concern of a judgment of the Supreme Court of Alabama that frozen embryos can be regarded as children under state law. In vitro fertilization services, in Alabama, the governor of this state signed a law to protect them-a step in other GOP-controlled countries.
The concerns regarding the IVF services remain among some legislators in the state capital Florida von Tallahasee and supporters of doctors and abortion rights.
The democratic representative of Allison Tant went to the House Floor to debate the draft law in Florida. He says that they “endangered” the fertility services that made them a mother.
“IVF pregnancies are naturally fragile and risky,” said Tant. “We will see complaints that we have never seen before.”
Additional cross -party concerns arise
Reproductive representatives in Florida also fear that right -wing providers could aim for legal disputes against the health service providers, offer abortions, family members and friends who facilitate a loved one to receive abortion, or to experience fertility clinics, whose customers experience miscarriage.
In Texas, a man submitted an illegal complaint against three women, of whom he said that she had now received medication for his exex woman for an abortion, even though he had later settled the case.
Florida’s proposal states that he does not appreciate a lawsuit against a mother for the death of her unborn child or against a health worker if she offers a “lawful” medical care.
Nevertheless, the Republican Senator Tom Leek voted against the draft law in the committee after he had expressed concerns about the measure that may have been expressed “against women with weapons against women with a child”.
The fear of legal measures could drive more ALSGYNS in order to take on non -risky patients or practice in Florida, an insurance company for medical misconduct has argued.
“There are serious concerns that there are other motivations behind this bill, especially with regard to abortion, in terms of potentially IVF in the future,” said the democratic Senator Tina Polsky. “This is a new basis for future topics, for future liability, for future bans. And it is incredibly worrying.”
