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.

Wish both the gop and dems would stay they hell out of the bedrooms and limiting my (or anyone's) choices. Can we also start with H. Waxman please? We just do not see how other liberties are eroded as well because they dont get the same level of publicity as sex issues. It's coming from all sides.

Frankly I think alot of these social issues are distractions from bigger issues and gives elected officials some form of "accomplishment", but their efforts solves nothing. I am sick of empty legislation that solves nothing. This shitty AZ law..its solves nothing. If goal is reduce abortion, then up birth control awareness and teach self responsibility. Enact laws that put a just a tiny bit more repsonsibility on the male side, as I am all for "default to the father" laws. Mom may have the baby, but lets try a social experiment of dumping the baby on the men for a change. Wanna see unwanted pregnacies stop? I bet that might put a dent in them.

Also, as another commentor stated, if life begins as a twinkle in someones eye, or drunken or drug induced grope, then that would imply every sperm in a man is a life.

Is every drug addicted person who creates a barely viable baby committing assult? Committing a violation of the unborn's civil rights? Is it child abuse? What a mess, what boon for lawyers.

I wish the govt would enforcing existing laws instead of inventing uneforcable overlays of the the same thing, and also try and get the economy going and level the job playing field vs outsourcing. They should be balancing the budget, managing the value on the dollar, and following due process, and being transparent with the money and the process. they should bring the troops home, because frankly there is no effing reason to be there.

You cannot legislate virtue. Sadly, we cannot legislate common sense.

Too bad there is NO leader who will prioritize the big rocks, and insead we get everyone nit picking sand grains.

Yeah we got fundi christians on the abortion racket, meanwhile, you have creeping Sharia. Pick yer poison, the relgions are coming at you from both sides. But I suppose honor killings sort of solve the abortion issue, doesn't it. The Dems are supporting the latter and the GOP the former. SO women get screwed from both sides.

end of sarcastic, angry, rant on the hipocracy of PCism, politicans and what not.

Very much a boon for lawyers, yes. As you say, it potentially leads us into all kinds of impossible ethical and legal thickets. I'm with you, that they should all butt out and go pay attention to the economy. Take all that energy and go revise the tax code or something.

Good thing we don't have to assume gender equality, otherwise every time a woman ovulated and doesn't get pregnant, that would be a crime too >:|
