If the constituency most directly affected were a bit more violent (maybe active militancy and a fake impression of being violent might suffice?) I bet such bills wouldn't be introduced.

Currently they (apparently, Rob Harris is the main troll in state congress) know that nobody will go after them. As long as it has no chance of passage, they can troll all they want. But that could change if someone thinks they have a chance of passing it.

Needless to say, a politician shouldn't be playing with fire to start with. A politician should be an adult person with the welfare of their constituency clear in mind. Not a joke on legs for telling to the Taliban.

You mean the death penalty for pregnancy. Because that's what abortion restrictions are.
