WTF!? Unfortunately this is no joke.

I ran into this story while checking out MSNBC's website:

I was so shocked, I must have sat here with my mouth hanging open for a good minute or two. I wassn't even sure I had read it right, but unfortunately I did.

3. Rep. Bobby Franklin

is a true fundie psychopath. Fortunately I think this asshole is too extreme even for most of GA. He's got the happy sheet wearing fundies in his district all wrapped up but should be stopped by the rest of the legislature.

I don't think this bill will ever see the light of day, at least it had better not. It's quite possibly the most ill-conceived and moronic bill I've ever come across.

If you're interested in a fantastic, and kind of disgusting response to the piece of shit that is Bobby Franklin I suggest the following.

4. When posting a link it would be nice to have a clue what it's about

we shouldn't have to click on a link in order to know what it is.
Just my opinion :)

5. I agree

I won't click on a link unless I know what it is, and I won't recommend a post that is ambiguous.

6. I think we should make him the champion of the Pro-Life movement

and all that it stands for.

7. Do yourself a favor

Don't miscarry in Georgia.

Maybe someone can make a concealed miscarry permit... ?

8. OF COURSE it Ga! The Bible Belt. I used to think I'd never want

to live in Utah because of the heavy Mormon influence, but now I KNOW that I hate living in the south east. I've lived in PA, SC, TX & Ga, and although Texas is it's own unique world, the south eastern states are pretty much the same, and it's no fun living here.
