Scanning the various ballot measures listed by CNN, it turns out that Arkansas has a ballot initiative to prevent adoptions or fostering by unmarried couples - straight or gay. Glad to know they consider me an evil sinner too!

I agree with you that this would not be a well designed law if its only purpose was to increase penalties for assaults inducing miscarriages. That's obviously not what the law is about. Neither is it about punishing women for sipping a glass of alcohol after becoming pregnant.

I think that regardless of peoples' opinions of when life begins, it's terrible if laws prevent people from coping with a premature loss in the way they want to.
