There are plenty of “dumb laws” – many of which are weirdly funny or, at worst, warrant an eyeroll or a shake of the head – and then there are laws so bizarre and over-the-top crazy they make one wonder if certain lawmakers have lost their ever-loving minds.
Case in point:
‘Pregnancy Begins 2 Weeks Before Conception’ Now The Law In Arizona
Governor Jan Brewer Signs Arizona’s Extreme New Abortion Law
Go on, read the articles – then give the logical conclusions of such a law just a few minutes of thought.
Regardless of your politics… regardless as to where you stand on the issue of abortion, or when you believe life begins…
This is insanity.
I’m very rarely speechless, but I have to admit, this one threw me for a loop.
Your thoughts?
I’m sickened by this. I thought the proposed idea of abortion through doctors was so that women who were getting them done anyway by non sterile means would be able to do so without dying. Seems like they are trying to go backwards if you ask me. I don’t care what your stance is on abortion or what religion you subscribe to, no one has the right to take away another persons choice. Our whole existence is about experiences. It is a persons choice what experiences they choose.
Well said!
Dawn, thought you’d appreciate this post from Here Women Talk member Carol Baker, aka “The Opinionated Bitch.” Here she writes, “The Opinionated Bitch Darwin Award has to go to the Arizona Legislature and to Governor Jan Brewer.” http://herewomentalk.com/the-opinionated-bitch-on-the-value-of-a-woman-2
