Ga. State Rep who tried to criminalize abortions found dead
Georgia state Rep. Bobby Franklin, who courted controversy with legislation that would criminalize miscarriages and with comments criticizing tornado victims, was found dead in his Northeast Cobb home just before noon Tuesday.
-----
No foul play is suspected in the death, Bowman said. The Cobb County Medical Examiner’s Office has the body.

Hodges speculated that Franklin suffered a massive heart attack.

While I have never wished anyone dead, there have been a few obits I've read with great enjoyment. This hate filled extremist's is one of them.

1. Hate towards others will do that to you....
Beyond that observation, I have no comment.

6. He wanted to make MISCARRIAGES a crime
and for them to be investigated to make sure they were naturally occurring.

8. "No foul play is suspected..."
Can't wait to see how the crazy "pro-life" crowd spins it.

10. Heh, I'm going to tell them god the abortionist got him
Women have absolutely no control over miscarrying, it's an act of god. I'd think such a god would be very upset that his work was being criminalized, wouldn't you?

(Hey, it's no more convoluted than their thinking is)

11. Not only is it an act of god --
it can aactually be a blessing when the fetus is a "defect," so to speak, and rejected by Nature as such.
