In a truly bizarre case of “legislative remorse,” GOP New Mexico State Rep. Cathrynn Brown apparently came to her senses to realize the bill she’d introduced to the legislature on Thursday, January 24, 2013, was a REALLY BAD IDEA.

How bad?

As was covered by Addicting Info earlier today in a piece titled New Mexico Bill Could Turn Pregnancy By Rape Into Evidence And Abortions Into Felonies, the bill put forth by Rep. Brown, House Bill 206, was originally worded so that the law would essentially charge a rape victim who aborts her pregnancy as a third-degree felon for “tampering with evidence” (punishable by up to three years in prison):

“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime.”
