Illegal in New Mexico...not yet.
 

A measure proposed by a Republican lawmaker in New Mexico would make it
illegal for a woman to abort a fetus sired by a rapist on the grounds
that the woman is “tampering with evidence” in the suspect’s trial.
According to Huffington Post, state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R) has put
forth House Bill 206, which would compel women to carry pregnancies
caused by rape to term or else be charged with a third-degree felony.

“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,” reads the bill.

Third-degree felonies are punishable by up to three years in prison.
Other crimes classified as third-degree felonies in New Mexico include
voluntary manslaughter, assault with intent to commit a felony, driving
under the influence and aggravated battery.

“New Mexico needs to strengthen its laws to deter sex offenders,” said
Brown in a statement. “By adding this law in New Mexico, we can help to
protect women across our state.”

Pat Davis, a spokesperson for ProgressNow New Mexico called the bill
“blatantly unconstitutional” and told Huffington Post, “The bill turns
victims of rape and incest into felons and forces them to become
incubators of evidence for the state. According to Republican
philosophy, victims who are ‘legitimately raped’ will now have to carry
the fetus to term in order to prove their case.”

Democrats hold the majority of seats in both chambers of New Mexico’s
state legislature, so the bill is not likely to pass.
