Raising abortion risks
Bills would undercut women's rights and drive many down unsafe roads to dodge strict rules, added costs

Published on: 03/06/06
In rapid succession last week, the Republican state Senate passed three bills aimed at making it harder for a woman to obtain an abortion in Georgia. The latest assault on women's freedoms includes a bill that mandates women to pay for and undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, and one that safeguards pharmacists from disciplinary action if they decline to fill prescriptions for drugs that terminate a pregnancy.

A third bill permitting prosecutors to charge a defendant with two crimes in cases where a pregnant woman is killed was gussied up as a domestic violence initiative, but it's actually a vehicle to edge Georgia code to the point where as soon as sperm tangles with egg, the law sees a full human being.

To its sponsors, the most important part of the bill is found in 16-5-28, (a): "For the purposes of this Code section, the term 'unborn child' means a member of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development who is carried in the womb."

The legislators couldn't care less about protecting Georgia women from abusive husbands and boyfriends. If they did, they would fund more domestic violence shelters and mandate violence prevention programs in schools.

1. "Drugs that terminate a pregnancy"?

That's their code for contraception, isn't it?

3. Damn

Insulting. Stupid. Controlling. Pieces.of. Shit.

Women just do not matter to these sickos. If they can't control women by any other means - they'll make her legally chattel (again)

4. Yes, but

they passed the "NRA" bill that says you can shot someone in a public place if it is self-defense. No doesn't that make a TON of sense...:wtf:
