Georgia Representative Wants To Investigate All Miscarriages
Do we need to have a full investigation when a woman miscarries to ensure she did not actually purposefully induce an abortion? If you're Bobby Franklin, a Georgia Representative, your answer would be "yes."

Via JoeMyGod:

Not only does whackadoodle Georgia state Rep. Bobby Franklin want abortion classified as murder, according to his latest bill, the police will have to investigate all miscarriages to ensure that they were "spontaneous." Here's the complete bill. Via Daily Kos:

Franklin wants to create a Uterus Police to investigate miscarriages, and requires that any time a miscarriage occurs, whether in a hospital or without medical assistance, it must be reported and a fetal death certificate issued. If the cause of death is unknown, it must be investigated. If the woman can't tell how it happened, than those Uterus Police can ask family members and friends how it happened. Hospitals are required to keep records of anyone who has a spontaneous abortion and report it. Yup, we've been waiting for someone to suggest this--and Franklin has. Needless to say, there are no exceptions allowed. Not for rape victims. Not for incest victims. Not to save the life and health of the mother (the fetus must get equal care).

Why do we keep electing these idiots.
They scream about freedom and their rights.
Except when when it comes to the rights of women, gays, minorities and the working poor.
Republicans are not content with silence and non-support they want to make us all criminals.

2. or stoning liberals

We moved here in 2006 from California (company transfer) and have been planning our escape for awhile.
There are some sane ones here but I have met too many idiots, who think I should be subservient to them.

3. If you check out his website, that pretty much says it all

Enjoy the last sentence. Scary!

Representative Franklin has been called "the conscience of the Republican Caucus" because he believes that civil government should return to its biblically and constitutionally defined role.

6. What's scary is he is my rep and I didn't vote for him....

We d's are very much in the minority here in Marietta, GA

10. I know your pain...

My job keeps me in Georgia quite a bit, so I am somewhat familiar.

And I live in a VERY red area. I am surrounded by right wing dimwittery as well!

4. You're guilty until you prove that you are innocent!!!!!

Isn't that how America works?

5. When my wife miscarried while trying to make baby #2

she was pretty much a basket-case of guilt and shame (feeling that she must have done something wrong that caused the miscarriage). I can just imagine the police questioning her and the effect that would have had. This guy is a complete moron!

7. Sorry about your wife

:hi: and a:hug: from Marietta, GA (we are planing our escape).

9. Thanks for the hugs...

it took her a while to get over it and some convincing that she had nothing to do with the loss (at least nothing she could control). We would love to go back to North Carolina...maybe in the future.

Have a wonderful day!

8. Your next logical step, Bobby, is to go after God.

Who has, after all, performed more abortions than all other abortion doctors combined. Please do ponder this until your head explodes.

11. +1000 So many people don't understand that less than 1/3 of all fertilized ova become

a fetus and then a baby.

12. When is he going to demand that men who 'spill' their semen on the ground, be put to death as God

mandated?

"Then Judah said to Onan, 'Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother.' But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death also." (Genesis 38:8-10)

13. can we start with bobby?

I wonder how many times he committed this "sin" in his youth? Inquiring minds want to know.

14. Why stop there?

don't already born babies deserve protection too?

Why don't they lock up the parents of babies who died from SIDS until they investigate the deaths?


What's wrong with adding more guilt and pain to people who are already suffering?
