That isn’t going to happen. And in the very off chance that it does- the government is guaranteed the win, and the people will suffer.

Greatly.

The government is made of people. Those people might refuse to do their jobs too.

A protest is SUBSTANTIALLY more likely to happen than the original suggestion of charging state lawmakers with murder. There's no murder charge that would qualify.

Reckless endangerment and manslaughter.

They were warned that women would die due these laws and they didn't listen. They recklessly put those laws there and people died... resulting in manslaughter.

I'd prefer homicide too, but I feel like manslaughter charges would stick better because you don't have to prove intent, just that someone died because of their actions.

Riiiiight. Well, have fun storming the castle. Just don’t make a mess on my street, okay? I don’t want to have to clean that shit up.
