LINCOLN Nebraska lawmakers will consider a bill this session that would ban abortions that result in the dismemberment of the fetus.
State Sen. Tommy Garrett of Bellevue said he not only wants to put a stop to what he called dismemberment abortions, but also reduce the likelihood that body parts will be sold after a procedure. He was referring to a series of undercover videos released last year by an anti-abortion group in which Planned Parenthood officials discuss financial terms for donating fetal tissue harvested from abortions.
Legislative Bill 767 would ban what Garrett called the most common abortion procedure used during the second trimester of pregnancy. The bill does not ban abortion during the first 20 weeks but would prohibit doctors from using the method known as dilation and evacuation.

allowed the most vile and ugly people take control of state after state.

Will never, ever become law, but is written because someone wants to use it in a campaign ad.
To me, this is the worst sort of corruption, the use of pubic monies to run for office.

during his campaign. With a unicameral Legislature,you do not have a real system of checks and balances. Now that the Fundies have control,more of this crap will go down.
