GA Legislator Wants to Create The Uterus Police to Investigate Miscarriages


“They do this every session in the state legislature here in Georgia. Someone introduces a bill that would make abortion a criminal act. And, yes, this year is no exception. This year’s legislation was introduced by House Republican Bobby Franklin ( [the same guy] who wants rape victims to be called “accusers”). Franklin is one of the more, ahem, colorful members of the legislature, bless his heart. According to him, SCOTUS had no right to rule on abortion and thus GA can do whatever it damned well pleases. Oh, and you’d better be able to prove your miscarriage was natural or face felony charges.

Link to the bill. I wish I could cut and paste, but for some reason I can’t.

Franklin’s H1 basically says that GA has a duty to protect all innocent life from the moment of conception until natural death (yet he also proposed a bill last session that would forbid the CDC from requiring mandatory flu vaccinations in a pandemic; apparently preventing massive deaths from a pandemic don’t come under the heading of protecting life). He announces that we all know life begins at conception, and that abortion is “prenatal homicide”. Furthermore, he states that a fetus is (or should be) a person under GA law, and thus entitled to equal protection under the law (yet gay adults shouldn’t be allowed to marry, according to Representative Franklin, under that same equal protection clause in the GA constitution).

But not content with ignoring federal law on t he matter, he proceeds to take on the SCOTUS and Roe v. Wade. Just because SCOTUS can’t define when life begins, doesn’t mean that GA can’t,s since we all know it begins at conception. Because some idiot like him, who graduated from a damned Bible college and who isn’t a lawyer, obviously knows more about constitutional law than the Supreme Court. According to he esteemed but not terribly smart Mr. Franklin, the federal government is only allowed to handle five crimes—and murder isn’t one of them (yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds). Since abortion is murder of a “pre-natal human being” GA can and will criminalize it. “

I have no idea about this site, but this poster’s rant is LGF worthy. emphasis mine.
