And it's exactly what the religious right expected to get when it threw its wholehearted support behind the mendacious thrice-married philanderer Donald J. Trump for president and his "Christian" running mate, Michael Pence.
It was Pence, who, as Indiana governor ordered Purvi Patel imprisoned for 20 years for having a miscarriage, alleging she had taken an abortifacient, despite tests confirming Patel did not have any drugs in her system.
Just before being elected vice president, Pence signed legislation requiring miscarried and aborted fetuses "interred or cremated," regardless of pregnancy duration.
This kicked off the "Periods for Pence," movement, in which women tweeted or called Pence's office to inform him when their periods started and ended so the state wouldn't mistake their usual menstruation periods for miscarriages.
Years before--also on Pence's watch--Bei Bei Shuai spent 435 days of a 45-year sentence in the Marion County, Indiana maximum security prison for attempting suicide, causing her 33-week fetus to die.
Then there is 28-year-old Melissa Ann Rowland of Utah, charged with murder after refusing to deliver her twins via Caesarean section.
One of those twins died.
Mississippi charged sixteen-year-old Rennie Gibbs with "depraved heart murder" after her baby was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck, causing its death.
According to state prosecutors, Gibbs had traces of cocaine in her bloodstream.
Angela Carder was also ordered to have a C-section before she succumbed to cancer.
Both she and the baby died during the procedure.
According to the Duke University Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, there were 413 documented cases of women prosecuted for miscarrying or attempting abortions between the when Roe v. Wade became the law in 1973 and 2005.
Is this version of Christian "Sharia Law" what we can expect in America's future?
After all, we were warned.
Three years ago, Donald Trump admitted "There has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions.
Trump's affection for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is well documented.
