Vigilante love?
North Carolina Republicans introduced a bill last year providing for the use of deadly force to stop someone from getting an abortion. As this bill is written it would be okay for someone to kill the woman seeking an abortion. The bill has yet to advance.

I just want to mention in passing that it seems somewhat counterproductive to kill the woman seeking an abortion if the goal is to save the fetus. Unless punishment is the actual goal. I’m sure that the Trump Republican Evangelicals will work out the slight glitch in the wording of this bill since they are not only condoning murder but encouraging it.
The devil is in the details.
