Woefully Ignorant State Legislative Proposals

[Smile_Awhile]

You must not have heard about the gems passed in Arkansas in the past week.

The Arkansas Legislature recently passed a a bill that prohibited "elective" abortions after 20 weeks. It was vetoed by the (Southern) Democrat governor, on the basis that it would be overturned by a higher court and would cost the state huge amounts in legal fees. His veto was overturned by the Legislature. See: http://arkansasmatters.com/fulltext?nxd_id=640902

There was also a bill prohibiting abortion past 12 weeks of pregnancy. This has cleared the Senate and House, and is now on the Governor's desk. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2735498.html
