Oh, Tennessee

Posted by Rachel on January 8, 2008

Yes, the Tennessee state legislature is back in session, and it’s crazy-bill-introducing time. *Of course* there’s a bill “to provide that nothing in Constitution of Tennessee secures or protects right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion.” I’ll look at this more later. As Aunt B says:

“Yes, indeed, let’s waste our time trying to change the state constitution to unguarantee a woman a right to an abortion in case Roe v. Wade is ever overturned in a state that is three hours thick. While you’re at it, Republicans, why don’t you work on banning women of child-bearing age from driving, because, otherwise… Oh, yeah, right. Rich women will still be able to do whatever the hell they want and poor women will continue to suffer under your punitive busy-bodying.”

    That sounds a little like something the Rep would come up with. Is it his?

    Shockingly, no. I think Southerland is one of yours, though.

    Snikta, the Rep is now comparing abortion to slavery on his blog, though. Godwin’s Law lives.
