Abortion Ban—Now Louisiana

Posted by on June 6 at 11:18 AM

The state legislature in Louisiana has passed a bill banning almost all abortions in that state—maybe they’re hoping to prevent any more huge killer fetus/hurricanes from slamming into New Orleans. The angry sky god must be appeased!

There’s no exception for rape or incest, but the Louisiana abortion ban does allow for abortions in cases where the mother’s health would be permanently harmed. Temporary harm to the mother? That’s okay—and it’s also not defined, so the law seems pretty screwy. Oh, and the governor of Louisiana has already agreed to sign the bill, making it law. For those of you keeping score at home, the governor of Louisiana is a Democrat. And a woman.

Wolf in sheeps clothing. What a bitch.

Is that fetus blowing a bubble? Pre-natal hubba bubba?

Some Democrat. See, having a D after your name doesn't make you infallible.

As backassed a piece of anti-choice legislation as it is, I don't believe it takes effect unless Roe v. Wade is reversed.

what gomez said.

Being a Dem doesn't automatically make you pro-choice. Neither does being a woman.
That said, it stings a little more when you see a Dem or a woman doing something like this. You expect this from White Right-wing Male...

And, Gomez, it's more common in right-wing males.

She's just trying to make up for her incompetence in handling Katrina. As if this is going to get her re-elected. Asshat.

Bush-League Democrat?

If Kesh is right that she's just trying to get reelected, maybe the LA Dems should deny her the nomination.

Yes, Dan. However, my point stands.

This is the type of thing I point out to shocked lefties whenever they wonder why Democrats "aren't doing anything" to fight back against Bush.

Thank god for the Gree... oh, that's right. The Green party people only pop out of the hole to say something during election time. My apologies.

Then I guess I should move to Can.. oh, that's right, Harper's PM/Bush-lite.. also Canada will suffer more from gas, I mean, petrol prices -- economically -- than Americans will, because the cities are all far away from each other and stuff. And the Canadian dollar's too equal to the U.S. dollar, almost, to attract any tourists, and things are incredibly expensive there, and the free health care is overrated and sucky.

Well, thankfully there's Eur,.. oh, everyone is very racist there, too. And everyone smokes. And it's expensive as fuck.

Well down under I go to Aus.. no, it's becoming really expensive to live there now, too... and Howard is Bush-Lite #2.. so, ok -- finally New Zea.. wait, New Zealand has the worst unemployment compensation system in the Western world; and they just settled a government scandal involving accidentally infecting hundreds of patients at government hospitals with Hep C, by offering monetary compensations that make up a fraction of a low-wage annual salary.

I've made up my mind. Mars is definitely the place to go, man. No bullshit, no hipsters, and I've been to North Dakota in the winter, and the weather's kinda the same. Finally, there's more "ART" in "mARTian" per letter than "eARThling"

actually, Canada is the US's major supplier of gasoline. wake up.

oh, and at the end of the day, they still have more rights than we do. plus, they actually arrest, charge, try, and convict their terrorists, and then sentence them to a real jail.

Dear Mr. Mathew Fisher Wilder (3 names and proud of it, is there something you’re trying to tell us, like you just received a big shipment of arms/ammo and have an itchy finger or two?),

“Well, thankfully there's Eur,.. oh, everyone is very racist there, too. And everyone smokes. And it's expensive as fuck. “

I know you didn’t just sum up an entire continent (poorly) with one sentence and lead off with “racist”. You need to put the keyboard down, get out of the house, take in some fresh air and maybe, ummmm I dunno, read a book or two.

PS. Mars just called and they’ve flung their doors wide open accepting any and all forms of life – except little, whiny, excessively poser angst-ridden negative morons like yourself ---- better luck next time Matty-boy.
