Oh goody, because my head hasn't exploded yet today

Arizona has passed a bill stating that life begins two weeks before conception.

::iz speechless::

Presumably that means everyone in Arizona will soon be singing this.

Also passed: a law protecting doctors from being sued if they withhold information that might lead a woman to get an abortion. Now, I'm fairly certain that's malpractice and violates every medical code of ethics since Hippocrates. I can't wait to hear what the AMA has to say about it. Ideally they will vow to yank the license of any so-called physician who perpetrates this obscenity on a patient.

Gaaaaaaaaahh. And the GOP says there's no war on women. Uh-huh. Pull this one and it plays Jingle Bells. Becoming a rabid feminazi is becoming a more and more attractive option every day that insanity like this sees the light of day.

From this side of the Pond we are watching aghast.

If life begins before sperm meets egg, does this not redefine both menstruation and male masturbation as abortion?

Quite a few of us on this side of the pond are pretty aghast too, believe you me!

And yes, it would. Constance Johnson, Senator from Oklahoma, stopped a similar bill passing in Oklahoma by pointed out that "any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman's vagina [would be] interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child."
