Lovely. 24 hour waiting period for an abortion, but its legal to buy a gun and walk out the door with it as a concealed weapon!

I think they may have installed their laws backwards.

I read 'Jan Brewer' as 'Joff Baratheon'. I seriously need some sleep.

Well one is about as charming as the other. Maybe Jan is just a real life, female version of Joff.

Well, until she has all the bastard children of the previous governor killed...

Where's a real-life Tyrion when you need him?

How can these idiots not understand that women having late-term abortions are not having them because they're fickle and changed their mind, they're having them because something has gone horribly wrong with their very much wanted pregnancy?

In some ways due to linguistics. Medically, there's no such thing as a "partial-birth abortion." It's done because there's something wrong with the pregnancy. However, that language helps them get these bills passed because "OMGZ Babbys! OMGZ Evil Sluts!"
