I had to bring my car to the body shop last year-I thought someone took a chink out of the driver's door paint, but i was told i was mistaken.:eek:

DNA testing can be done in utero.

Yes, but the hairbrained "legislator" probably doesn't realize that. The comment was that they wanted evidence preserved - what other evidence could that be?

I just walked out the door of our hotel in East Lansing and there was a nip in the air! :)

Beat me to it.

And it wasn't too long ago that people wanted to change the name of the city of Coon Rapids, MN, because it had racial overtones. :rolleyes:

So the next bill idea should be that doctors should not help patients with wounds resulting from a crime. Oh, you have a bullet lodged in your shoulder from a drive by? I could take that out and stitch you up, but I don't want to tamper with evidence, so we'll just leave it lodged there until the court case. We want the jury to be able to see your wound (or corpse) for themselves.

The only absolutely certain way to get yourself national publicity is to be an especially stupid pro-life nitwit.

Remember Randall Terry? For several years he was a BFD media creation, then he went back to selling orthotics at Thom McCann.

Read it again...he wasn't reacting to bad grades. He was reacting to her getting B's instead of A's. I don't want to imagine the reaction for D's or F's.

I remember the overachievers whose parents would ground them if they brought home a single B, and I thought that was asinine. This nut takes it way beyond that level, sadly.

Things like this pass human understanding. And underscore once again (I won't post it again, so relax) what Keanu Reeves said in "Parenthood," about who gets to be a "parent."

It cuts both ways, too - a kid in my class got a moped for raising his average to a 2.0. :rolleyes:

The orignal post was incredibly incomplete and biased. The blogger later posted an update...the actual text of the proposed bill reads quite differently, and sounds a lot more reasonable in context.

Brown [the legislator who introduced the bill] said in a statement Thursday that she introduced the bill with the goal of punishing the person who commits incest or rape and then procures or facilitates an abortion to destroy the evidence of the crime.

"New Mexico needs to strengthen its laws to deter sex offenders," said Brown. "By adding this law in New Mexico, we can help to protect women across our state."

...

quot[ing] the text of the bill: "Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime."

So the sensationalist headline is not only wrong, it is also completely backwards! The bill does not compel a woman to carry a fetus that came about as result of rape or incest. Instead, the bill says that anyone (other than the mother, presumably!) who aborts the fetus in an attempt to make the fetus unavailable for DNA testing is guilty of tampering with evidence.

Presumably, once the testing is done, the woman can then proceed to expel the unwanted cluster of cells from her uterus.

So it sounds here like the &$$hole is the blogger, not the legislator.



PS though the article doesn't make it clear, it sounds like the legislator is a woman as well.

Notwithstanding the clarifications, do you honestly believe the true purpose of this proposal is not making abortions more difficult to obtain?
