Dorothy Roberts, a University of Pennsylvania professor of law and sociology, said Wednesday that a conservative Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade and ultimately criminalize miscarriages.
Arguing that President Donald Trump’s pick to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy would usher in a conservative majority, Roberts said that outcome could lead to prosecutors going after women who suffer miscarriages. In an MSNBC clip noted by the Daily Caller, Roberts said "misogynistic laws" would be able to stand because of the anti-abortion rulings a conservative Court could potentially make.
"It’s a very thin line between putting a woman in prison for a stillbirth or a miscarriage that she’s blamed for—for something she did during her pregnancy—and criminalizing abortions," Roberts claimed. "So we’re already at that point, and I agree with Jennifer that women and others have to protest against this continued criminalization of women, harms to our health, and what I think is misogynistic laws against women."
MSNBC host Ali Velshi asked Roberts about a tweet she wrote saying women would be under fire from all these different directions if the Supreme Court overturned Roe. Roberts expressed concern about the "onslaught on women’s access to abortion" that could occur were a conservative justice to take Kennedy’s place.

This person envisions a very strange fantasy world.

Penn State.A very strange place.
All lawyers should be put on trial for being idiots.
These kind and tolerant people will do anything they can to kill babies.
If a woman can live with herself by having an abortion for no apparent reason than so be it; However, don't expect tax dollars to pay for it. The same goes for birth control.
He is proof that some abortions should still happen!
As usual; the left lies again...
More leftist lies intended to incite.
Gonna be un-PC here. That is one hysterical broad!
Miscarriages are generally Nature finding some fault with the pregnancy or the developing fetus. Generally creates an emotional low-point in addition to any physical issues the expectant mom faces from the miscarriage. Fortunately many/most women can later carry a healthy baby to term.
Penn needs to find her a quiet spot, and keep her away from students. She's a blithering idiot.
6:54 you are correct. But we all know many liberals that believe this crap!! Have a few in my own family that I just stop talking to.
Miscarriage isn't a choice.
Liberals complain about migrant children but they would be the first to ABORT ONE Hypocrites.
If Planned Parenthood would actually help young women avoid unwanted pregnancies and stop abortions I would support it and wouldn't object to my tax dollars being used to pay for birth control pills,condoms ect. You think about that for a minute. What is best for the country all the way around?
