Why would any party, anywhere offer up this kind of legislation at all, but especially in an election year?

"The Life Defense Act of 2012, sponsored by state Rep. Matthew Hill (R-Jonesborough), mandates that the Tennessee Department of Health make detailed demographic information about every woman who has an abortion available to the public, including her age, race, county, marital status, education level, number of children, the location of the procedure and how many times she has been pregnant. Each report would also have to include the name of the doctor who performed the procedure."

It's a 33-year-old guy from the NE corner of TN trying to pander to the base and make a name for himself. Not sure it has much to do with a national election.
 
It should be easy to get data on how many times women have been pregnant.

I think the data would possibly have the reverse of the intended effect. Seeing that a bunch of poor, uneducated girls that already have one kid (that we are paying for) are getting abortions might make some people favor that as an option.
 
Meanwhile, there's this:
An Arizona lawmaker is proposing that employers should have the right to ask women in their employ to provide proof that the birth control pills they are using are being used for non-sexual purposes.The kicker is that Arizona is a Right-To-Work state, so if the employer wanted to he could then fire any employee who he feels is using the BC pills to ave safe sex.

Satchel, "The War on Women" Really? Got to hand it to you, your blind loyality to our worst President ever never wavers.

Obama f%#$ed up with the Catholics big time so he and his adminstration get desperate and come up with the War on Woman to deflect his major screw up. It's all about the votes for that turd in chief.
 
Why does Satchel have a war on unborn babies?

Do you not like children? Do you not think that a home can be found for these children?

Do you season your children with salt before you eat them?
 
Notice how satchel links to someone who very cleverly has introduced the idea that an employee might fire someone based on their use of contraceptives - even though there's no reason to think it would ever happen, or that the bill is not designed to allow it. One could just as easily say that offering the option for student to disclose their sexual preference means that the university "could" choose to target or expel anyone who didn't disclose, or disclosed that they were heterosexual.
 
Just because both parties have ignoramuses, doesn't mean the bills they introduce speak for the entire party. If that were the case, clearly the democrats are the anti-bike and anti-kid party.

Dems War on Children

Quote:
The bill was introduced by Assemblywoman Cleopatra Tucker (D-Essex) who said she proposed it after several senior citizens in Belleville and Bloomfield called her to complain about kids on bikes.
 
The laws highlighted above are freekin's stupid.

O's war on the 1st amendment blew up in his smug face and small time Rs across the country keep bailing him out.
 
The war seems to be moving to a new phase:

FORT WORTH, Texas - The Fort Worth Fire Department is investigating an arson attack at State Sen. Wendy Davis’ legislative office.

Fire officials said just after 4 p.m. on Tuesday someone threw two Molotov cocktails into the third-floor office on West 7th Street.

Two of Davis' staff members were there at the time. They used a fire extinguisher to put out the waist-high flames. No one was hurt.

Davis, a Democrat who joined the Senate in 2009, was not at the office at the time.

"It's unfortunate when things like this happen in the public arena and it reminds us of how important it is for us to remain very civil in our discourse and to work, not to foment this kind of anger in our community as we discuss things that are challenges that we all face and care about," Davis said at a press conference Tuesday night.

She has been one of the strongest voices on several of the toughest issues the state is facing so she said she doesn't know exactly what motivated the attack.

"Politics is always very heated and so we don't know that this has anything to do with politics. We'll know more when police and fire identify a suspect," said Anthony Spangler, Davis' communications director.

Officials said several witnesses saw someone who they think igniting the fire fleeing the scene. But no one is in custody yet and no further details have been released.

The fire department's arson and bomb squad, Fort Worth police and the Department of Public Safety are all investigating the incident.

I don't think the Giffords attack by an obviously disorderd person had anything to do with her support of Planned Parenthood.
 
There is no report of motive yet so how in the world can you connect the invisible dots to automatically accuse republicans of being behind the arson attempt?

That is exactly what Shiner was comparing to Gifford. The press assumed republicans and as often the case they were made to look like asses.

Quote from the story:
"Her office says they don't know if the attacks were politically motivated."
 
Conservative vaginal managers have waged war on women and Planned Parenthood.. A woman who supports Planned Parenthood sustains a firebombing at her office.

Things that make you go hummmmm....

FWIW, this was not an attack on the State Senator but rather the actions of a disordered homeless man. It was unrelated to the GOP's WOW.
 
Meanwhile....

Last year, Texas’s Republican-stacked legislature cut two thirds of the state’s family planning budget—from $111.5 million to $37.9 million—denying some 180,000 lower-income women breast cancer and diabetes screenings, Pap smears, birth control and other basic needs. The move was widely read as an attack on Planned Parenthood, which provided 40 percent of Texas’s non-abortion family planning healthcare at 51 clinics throughout the state. Although, by law, centers that receive these funds don’t perform abortions and they’re each run independently, pro-lifers insist that all Planned Parenthood clinics promote abortions by (gasp) giving patients referrals for a legal procedure they have to pay for out of their own pockets.

Now it’s Perry’s turn to get in on the act. As of this week, Texas lost $35 million in federal funds that underwrite the state’s Women’s Health Program (WHP) because he and his fellow conservative lawmakers insist that Planned Parenthood—which serves freaking 45 percent of women enrolled in WHP—can no longer be in the provider network. Just as it did with Indiana last summer, the Obama administration (rightfully) said that it won’t fund state programs that deny women access to qualified providers.

Although Texas lawmakers including Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston) are looking for new ways to fund WHP, some 130,000 poor and uninsured women, many of whom are Latina and black, stand to lose access to their Well Woman cancer screenings, contraceptives and STD testing and treatment.

Predictably, Perry is blaming BHO.

Satchel, if getting this funding to the poor people is so important (and I agree that it is), why would you have strings attached to it involving Planned Parenthood?

Sure seems that both sides are putting politics ahead of the people, no?
