Yesterday South Dakota. Today Mississippi. Tomorrow...?
A Mississippi House committee voted Tuesday to ban most abortions in the state - an unexpected move that left abortion opponents grappling to stake out a position on a proposal that could prompt a lengthy court battle.
The only abortions allowed under the bill would be if the life of the pregnant woman were in danger. There would be no abortions allowed in cases of pregnancy caused by rape or incest.
It's similar to a bill that South Dakota lawmakers passed last week.
House Public Health Chairman Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, persuaded his committee to put the abortion restrictions into a Senate bill that was originally written to require that sonograms be performed early in pregnancy so the woman could hear a fetal heartbeat.
Holland said he brought up the near ban on abortion because he's tired of piecemeal attempts to add new restrictions year after year. He said he woke up about 3 a.m. Tuesday and decided to introduce his proposal, and he only told two House staff members about his plans before he made the move.

yeah, and I bet you've never been 1) raped, 2) raped by your daddy, or 3) pregnant.
ReplyDeleteNotice how the endarkened totalitarian minds of our "liberals" work, kiddies. It's the baby's fault her daddy is a sick pervert and criminal. Therefore, chopping up innocent children conceived in criminal acts is a good thing.
ReplyDelete#3 is simply the first refuge of the intellectually vacant: The Unmarried Marriage Counselor argument. You'll never get out of junior high using that one.
May God have mercy on your soul, you poor fool.
