North Dakota trying to follow in South Dakota's footsteps.
But they're acting even more idiotic.
North Dakota House Passes Abortion Ban
Note the picture to the right. Interesting to see the makeup of those individuals making reproductive health care decisions for women.
North Dakota's House of Representatives has passed a bill effectively outlawing abortion.
The House voted 51-41 this afternoon to declare that a fertilized egg has all the rights of any person.
That means a fetus could not be legally aborted without the procedure being considered murder.
So, can a pregnant woman cast two votes, one for her and one for her fertilized egg? It has all the rights of a person, right? Is that a person at any age? What?
(Rep. Dan Ruby, -R- Minot) "This is the exact language that's required by Roe vs. Wade. It stipulated that before a challenge can be made, we have to identify when life begins, and that's what this does."
Life began in the primordial ooze and it's been a continuous process ever since then. You half-wit.
This bill is on to the Senate next.
You can contact North Dakota senators and express your outrage. Do it even if you're not a constituent (though there will likely be some who won't accept mail from non-constituents).
Make phone calls. Write snail mail letters. Contact your own senators and congresscritters and let them hear your opinion.
I haven't seen any action alerts come through the Planned Parenthood or NARAL mailing lists yet, but I'm sure they won't be far behind.

I spent an hour the other day writing letters to Corker, Gordon and Alexander on the subject of de-funding abstinence-only until marriage education.
My pen is getting tired, y'all.
