I also want to know their reasoning too, but what I REALLY want to know is if they are aware that pregnancy isn't permanent? The more I think about this the more questions I have.
Who is gonna update that database? How many tax dollars are they willing to spend paying people to deal with implementing this? I know the purpose is to convict women for abortions and miscarriages, which is fucking horrific...but then I think about how people keep cars for far longer than a person is pregnant and how the DMV is not the model for efficiency.
Holy shit this whole thing is equal parts horrifying and laughably stupid.
Sorry about my weird tangent... your question got my brain asking questions and I don't think the actual answers will be much help.
"why has this woman been pregnant for 27 years? ... HOW has this woman been pregnant for 27 years?!"
The problem is you thought about it. Republicans don't generally go that far with an idea.
The dmv is pretty efficient, all things considered. 5 or 10 year tracking isn't that hard. 0 months to 10 months is way more difficult.
