Paul Ryan sponsored federal fetal personhood bill

[HomerJS]

In case you didn't know this proposed law would define a fertitized egg as a person.

This would in effect ban the most popular form of birth control, hormonal (the pill). Romney stated in an intervew he would be in favor if this bill was brought to him. It would also ban abortions in the case of rape or incest. Banning forms of birth control, rape victems can't get an abortion? I guess that war on women is just a rumor.

Despite Mitt Romney's efforts to court women voters ahead of November, he chose a running mate who is far outside the mainstream on women's health issues. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) cosponsored a bill that would give fetuses full personhood rights from the moment of fertilization, which was even rejected by voters in the socially conservative state of Mississippi. He voted to defund federal family planning programs, authored a budget that dismantles Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, all of which disproportionately aid and employ women

And those bills would have prevented Romney's sons from acquiring kids. How ironic.

But please show where the bill would have banned the pill. It was clearly targeted at abortions.

And can we please stop using "Women's health" as a euphemism for abortion.

I love the unintended consequences of these types of bills.

Since 50% or so of all fertilized eggs fail to implant this type of bill turns what should be a none event, didn't get pregnant this month, into a dead "child".

So if you believe a fertilized egg is a person keep that in mind when you have kids. But I guess it's ok to kill a couple of kids because you want one. But it's not ok to have an abortion because you don't want a child.

hmm I think I get 2 week bereavement at work if someone in the family dies.

A personhood bill wouldn't change anything about abortion, but it is a testament to the ignorance of proponents that they think it will. No matter what happens, you still have the right to evict an unwelcome occupier of your body.

Republicans are idiots... Who could've guessed?

What can you say about a bill that even the state of Mississippi rejected.

The most commonly used birth control pill does not dislodge a fertilized egg. RU-486 does that.

Except for that omission, I have no issue whatsoever with this bill. And don't pretend that the inclusion of that exception would make you any happier about it.

So....... does this count for HOV lane access?

- On the other hand buying tickets to events would become outrageously expensive "Ma'am, without a ticket that fetus cannot be admitted to this theater, mmmkay?"

Just another Republican that wants to codify his personal religious beliefs into the law of the land.

I am really sick of this crap. Choosing a religion with its baggage of restrictions should be a personal choice, not a mandate to make me live by the same restrictions. Such actions are the opposite of religious freedom.

I keep wondering who's in charge of pointing that out to the U.S. Taliban. Seeing as a bunch of our Congress-critters are lawyers though, shouldn't they know that going in?

Women's health is not a euphemism.

Oh please Democrats are just as happy to codify their personal beliefs into the law of the land.

The pill inhibits fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterine wall, preventing pregnancy. Since the fertilized egg is a person preventing attachment would be tantamount to murder.

Of course unfortunately for you the bill is about government funding of abortion. It obviously does not, and cannot, ban abortion.

So what it would do is, at most, restrict government funding for birth control pills.

...and there goes the women's vote.


Maybe the conservatives can go on about them being sluts and whores again (aside from baby killers) and they should squeeze an aspirin and shut their (pie)holes. That was fun.

The hypocrisy is suffocating!

No, HR 212, isn't. Did you even read the bill or are you just spouting your usual nonsense?
