suffering is “part of the human condition" says repub who wants women to carry dead fetuses 2 term
Texas Republican Wants Women to Carry Deceased Fetuses to Full Term
The proposed amendment is so insane, even his GOP colleagues are repulsed.
By Leslie Salzillo / Daily Kos May 4, 2015
Last week in Texas, a Republican lawmaker proposed an amendment so outrageous, that even some of his own GOP colleagues were repulsed. Andrea Grimes, with RH Reality, reports:.
Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler) put forward an amendment that would make it illegal to terminate a pregnancy after 20 weeks, even if a fetus “has a severe and irreversible abnormality,” effectively forcing families with wanted, but unsustainable pregnancies to carry to term at the behest of the state and against the advice of their doctors or their own wishes.
What would cause a lawmaker to want the government to inflict more emotional pain onto an already grieving family, in addition to adding a major health risk to the mother? Does he not realize a woman can easily die of sepsis by carrying a nonviable fetus?
Schaefer said that suffering is “part of the human condition, since sin entered the world.”

As Andrea Grimes first reported in RH Reality Check, Republican State Representative Matt Schaefer has recently proposed an amendment to the Health and Safety Code for medical facilities that would “prohibit the performance of an abortion at the facility on the basis that the fetus has a severe and irreversible abnormality.” And as he explained last month on Facebook, “Fetal abnormalities should not justify taking the life of unborn babies.” In other words, regardless of the viability of a fetus, Schaefer would like to make sure that a woman be forced to carry it as long as possible. Why? Because as he sees it, those fetuses “are going to suffer, they’re going to feel pain” and well, “That’s part of the human condition, when sin entered the world, and it grieves us all.” Grimes notes that Schaefer’s clever idea to legislate suffering “was tacked on as an amendment to a bill about the bureaucratic operations of the state health department, as if it were some kind of especially abhorrent afterthought.” Houston Rep. Jessica Farrar, meanwhile, boggled that “I won’t even go into the level of misogyny I have experienced this session.” Appallingly, the bill passed before State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer quickly filed a legislative point of order that put it back under review.
At the risk of stating the obvious to everyone with a modicum of human experience and empathy, we are not required by law to suffer, and the government is not in the business of making decisions about health based on anyone else’s feelings about sin. And if Schaefer truly believes, as he says, “We should value what God values, and that’s the life of the unborn,” I wonder why he thinks God himself always seems to end such a high percentage of them in miscarriage?
