Georgia lawmaker compares women to cows and pigs

[DearAbby]

Republican Georgia state Rep. Terry England says that his experience with cows, pigs and chickens has proven to him that women should be forced to have their babies after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

In a debate over Georgia House Bill 954, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks even if the baby is not expected to live, England recalled the time he had spent with livestock.

“Life gives us many experiences,” he explained. “I’ve had the experience of delivering calves, dead and alive — delivering pigs, dead and alive. … It breaks our hearts to see those animals not make it.”

1. House Bill 954 easily passed last week by a vote of 102-65. n/t

2. Why of course, since their gestation is so similar!

3. I won't type what I'm thinking.

I'll go with something milder.

Drop dead you piece of shit.

4. This is one of the most vile laws I've ever read about.

I don't understand the part about the chickens?????????????

I hope the women of GA show show spine over the passage in the GA house of 102-67!

5. And Olbermann

6. There's probably a reason he didn't mention sheep--they're his, um, friends.....

I bet he would be shocked to learn that there is another use for sheep--wool.

Yes, Mr. England, tell us more about the time you spent with livestock.......post videos online for us.

7. It only breaks their hearts

because of the future profits lost.

8. Nobody should be compared to pigs.

If you would like to email Mr. England your thoughts, I am sure he will be appreciative:

I'm gonna give it a try.

17. Thanks! I did!

10. WTF!! I hate the "pro life" crowd with every micro fiber of my being.

[DearAbby]

11. They dont care about the condition of the fetus after 20 wks

no matter the risk to your health, you cannot have an abortion. They've gone too damned far!

13. Sometimes in twins

They discover a condition where one steals all the nutrition from the other. Both are usually mentally and physically challenged for life. We had 3 set in my building in the 80's. Once I met a woman who delivered a case like that and both were dead. Why be forced to go through that.

[DearAbby]

15. Half the time

I don't think they give very deep thoughts to these bills, just tossing red meat to appease the anti-choice. Each pregnancy as like each human being is different. We are not livestock.

[sarcasmo]

12. The war on women continues.

[demmiblue]

14. Ugh. N/t
