Kentucky is First Out of The Gate
Well, here ya go —
Yeah, they are so up on their high horse that nosebleeds are a major problem.
The bill’s sponsor says,
“This is my belief: there are two viable beings involved,” he said. “One had a choice early on to make a decision to conceive or not. Once conception starts, another life is involved, and the legislature has the ability to determine how that life proceeds.”
Yeah, I don’t understand it either.
My friend Deb suggests that we need to get State Legislatures a Fit Bit that tracks how many times you’re hurting women.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
It never ends. Stupid goes all the way to the bone.
1How come there are only two people and one state legislature (whole bunch of old white men) involved in this plan? Where is the sperm donor? Guess he doesn’t count, eh? Well, the “state legislatures” have no standing in this decision either as far as I am concerned!
2They are really trying hard to keep it from sounding like indentured servitude. But there is no other option if the woman only has one choice, she becomes a slave the minute conception takes place.
3Scotus says 24 weeks until viability, based on the best science available, but wingnuts use Ouija Boards and chicken bones to make their decisions.
24 weeks is the law of the land and anything else should be unconstitutional.
4“the legislature has the ability to determine how that life proceeds.”
So next, will they try and determine how a woman’s life proceeds, whether or not she’s pregnant? By the logic they’ve used, it’s a reasonable step to take (in their eyes).
5If I remember correctly they used to say, “You get pregnant when you are ready, little lady and us men folk will do all the deciding for you after that”.
6Such a bunch of unholy hypocrites! Evil stupid men who are so unsure of anything that the only way they can feel like real men is to enslave women. Since all they really are are eunuchs they should all be made real eunuchs. If their balls could be found, that is.
7“One had a choice early on to make a decision to conceive or not.” Yeah, every time a woman has sex– voluntarily or not– she’s making a decision to conceive. And the other party involved strolls away whistling.
This is right up with “She got herself pregnant,” an event that should be reported to the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association.
How about if every time a male has sex with a female he is required by law to put down a substantial deposit on child-care expenses for the next 18-21 years?
8Rhea–You nailed it.
My biggest concern is whether a Republican SCOTUS will let the 24-week thing stand. Not that I think “viability” should be a factor; I’m convinced that any woman who does not believe she is physically, financially, emotionally, and educationally ready to have a child should be presented the option to abort without guilt.
People with penises shouldn’t have a say in it.
9I just sent a donation to the local PP in honor of Mike Pence. I guess I’ll have to find the address of the PP closest to Manchester, KY, and send another one in honor of the author of that wise statement about choice.

There are only 2 in Kentucky, Ellie. Take your pick and thanks.
11Thank you, e platypus onion. I’ll do it tomorrow morning!
12Doesn’t this just drive you up a wall? These are exactly the guys who think you can see a fetus just by looking down your throat! And there it is, floating on top of the old tum-tum! Seriously, when brains were handed out they were the first ones to hide behind a door!
