@Jedit “Simply crossing state lines while pregnant for malicious intent would qualify as felony kidnapping.”

I maybe wrong as I am from the UK, but doesn’t crossing state lines make kidnapping federal? Until you cross state lines it is not kidnaping, but crossing state lines makes it federal and federally it is not kidnapping.

Also, who would it apply to only residents of the state? What about women who work in the state or are temporarily in the state and return to their home state for an abortion. Is the foetus considered to have the rights of a person if it is not conceived in that state?

The lawyers could have a field day and huge payday arguing that one.
