Because We Need a Report, In Triplicate, That Will Be Public Record

They are growing them hateful in Kansas lately.

Meet State Senator Mary Pilcher-Cook, who wants to be a uterus monitor.  Apparently we have a real shortage of people wanting to check to make sure that a miscarriage is really a miscarriage.  Doctors estimate that 15% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Screen-Shot-2014-02-22-at-7.43.04-AMA bill advancing in Kansas would mandate reporting for miscarriages at any stage in pregnancy, the first step along the path to criminalizing pregnant women’s bodies. Under an amendment attached to HB 2613 — which was originally intended to update the state’s procedure for issuing birth certificates for stillborn babies — doctors would be required to report all of their patients’ miscarriages to the state health department.

I mean, how do we know it was really a miscarriage? And shouldn’t all that be public information?   I mean, hell, why leave it at that?  Why not take out billboards and newspaper ads listing all the women who had miscarriages that month because Mary Pilcher-Cook thinks they might have done something wrong.

I hate these people.  I seriously do.  I try not to.  I just can’t help myself.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
