Tennessee Lawmaker Wants to Issue "Death Certificates" for Abortions

Oh sweet Jesus.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Legislation introduced in Tennessee would require death certificates for aborted fetuses, which likely would create public records identifying women who have abortions

Oh yeah! This reminds me of that guy who wanted to pass a law requiring miscarriages be reported to the sheriff within 48 hours with "products of conception" to be turned over.

And since maybe a third of all pregnancies end in miscarriage before the woman even knows she's pregnant, that basically would have amounted to shipping your monthly flow to the sheriff if you were having sex with a man.

And technically, since conception simply means sperm fertilizing egg, and not necessarily implantation, who knows what other fluids. :p

These people are cuh-razy. And most of them appear to have failed (or never taken) Health.

Yes, since this is all moving in the direction of issuing death certificates for the possibility of a baby, let's start issuing them each time a woman uses birth control. Or gets her period.

There are people lobbying for that.
