THE FETUS' BUS BOYCOTTS WORKED!
Arizona To Ban Racists and Sexists From Having Abortions


Because a state lawmaker read “a magazine article on such practices in China and India,” Arizona is set to ban abortions made on the basis of the race or sex of the fetus.

Not that there’s evidence women in Arizona abort a fetus based on its perceived race or sex; there isn’t. But this is a matter of CIVIL RIGHTS and Jan Brewer and her Republican legislators are not going to stand idly by watching those brave fetus freedom-marchers get hosed down by police, handcuffed at the lunch counters, refused entry into segregated “fully-developed-child only” public schools, and turned away from playing golf at Augusta National.

Doctors better be careful not to give abortions to women who believe in anything but absolute equality for all people, or they’re going to be thrown in prison. Oh, and here’s a riddle: Why do so many minorities in Arizona have abortions? They’re racist and sexist!

Republican supporters had said that statistics show a high percentage of abortions are being sought by minority women and that abortion clinics intentionally locate in minority areas.
​

Oooooh! Must be because they’re racist! It’s the minorities who are always the ones racist against minorities, right? Thank God the noble white people of Arizona are around to make sure those minorities aren’t allowed to be racist.

The law allows the father of an aborted fetus – or, if the mother is a minor, the mother’s parents – to take legal action against the doctor or other health-care provider who performed the abortion. If convicted of the felony, physicians would face up to seven years in jail and the loss of their medical license.

Meanwhile, back east in that Indiana:

Indiana Plugs ‘Abortion Loophole’ For Rape Victims


This bro does not want to disparage rape and incest victims, he just wants to disparage other women, because women always be pretending they got raped so Indiana will let them have all the abortions they want.

So many abortions fit through that loophole, you don’t even know! Women make huge profits pretending to get raped and having as many abortions as possible.

Yesterday morning, the Indiana House considered an anti-abortion bill that “would put some of the tightest abortion restrictions in the nation into Indiana law.” Introduced by state Rep. Eric Turner (R), HB 1210 would make most abortions illegal after 20 weeks. Current law restricts abortions after the fetus is viable, generally around 24 weeks. [...]
state Rep. Gail Riecken (D) introduced an amendment to exempt “women who became pregnant due to rape or incest, or women for whom pregnancy threatens their life or could cause serious and irreversible physical harm” from being forced to carry to term. [...]


The House voted down Riecken’s amendment 42 to 54. The bill “now is eligible for a final vote in the House later this week. It then would move to the Senate, which earlier passed similar legislation aimed at abortion.”
​

Good. At least this story has a happy ending.

I just switched my voter registration to Republican. Stories like these have me regretting my decision after less than 72 hours.

You've got the right direction, imho

Use it to vote for an enlightened mind like Gary Johnson next spring if he is in the GA Republican primary and then of course in the fall you can still vote for as many non-Republicans as you see fit.

Yea. Johnson is the reason I switched in the first place.
