The personhood amendment will be going to the ballot. These laws that were signed yesterday are MORE restrictions on abortion.

Yeah, I saw that too. Like, if it's not from your beliefs or experience, where is it coming from? Secret messages you've decoded from Da Vinci's writings?

He's not signing the bills into law because he thinks they are good for his state but because he thinks it'll be a good move for his career?

Donated.

This law is such complete bullshit. Shame on everyone who came up with it, voted for it, and signed it. Y'all are a bunch of assholes.
