What a compassionate guy. /sarcasm

I am, quite simply, astounded.

I am, quite sadly, not.

Ahh Virginia...a mere half-hour's drive from here.

I guess if this thing passes, I'l have one more reason not to move to any of the nice towns "just across the border."

Just don't get pregnant, you'll be fine. /irritated

What? I mean, WHAT? Or... huh?

What exactly is the point of this? I mean, my mind is trying to make some anti-choice connection in my head, but it's not really making any sense.

It's about more control over women's bodies. That's plain to see. The logic involved is, of course, not earth logic, so it's kinda hard to explain the rest of the thinking.

It's a big step towards defining life as starting at conception.

Read down the comments - in Virginia you can now get a birth certificate for a stillborn.

Looks like some asshat has womb envy.

Sersiously, that is the first thing that came into my head reading this. What we have here is a repressed republican transexual who is determined to punish anything with a womb because he cant have one and still hold true to his religeous crap.

Then another thread of personality just kicked up the phrase "legalising the madonna-whore complex"

Either way this is something so far beyond belief that i can bairly comprehend it. In Australia this would be so far beyond legal it's.......

"You can't have babies, you haven't got a womb!"
"Don't you oppress me!"

[adiva_calandia]

Will someone please tell me what the hell trashcan babies have to do with natural miscarriages? I mean. . . what? WHAT?

*takes a few deep breath* Mister Law-maker, if you have an issue with babies being abandoned by their mothers -- which I will happily acknowledge as a problem -- why not set up a system like they have in, what is it, California? And Texas, for God's sake? Here, from the Nov. 2002 Reader's Digest:

A young El Monte, CA, woman dropped her healthy newborn at an emergency room entrance and disappeared. "People were outraged that a mother could abandon her baby like that," recalls [Debi] Faris, "and I was outraged they didn't see that she had cared enough to leave her child in a safe place." Faris called a local TV news reporter and asked why police were pursuing the El Monte woman, who had done the right thing. "I'm sorry, Ms. Faris," the reporter responded. "That's the law."

[Faris] learned that Texas had already passed a safe-haven law, and other states were introducing such bills. Babies can now be surrendered, and the mothers won't be persecuted for it.

So, Mr. Law-Maker, GET A CLUE. God. . . . And my red badge of courage arrived today, too.

thats disgusting

that's utterly disgusting and reprehensible. as if these people don't have enough to worry about than having the police all up in their business and stuff. i am so angry about miscarriage ignorance as my friend had a really bad one a few years ago. she had a miscarriage and the baby came out and they buried it in the backyard and every year, on june 16th, she still puts flowers on it and such, and her and the father both get teary eyed over it NOW! four years afterward. how can legislators think they are doing justice or anything good by doing this? she coudnt talk to anyone for days because she thought she did it herself, its shameful.

[innerbrat]

This makes me feel physically sick. I can't articulate my abject disgust for humanity. Will post this everywhere I can find.
