Georgian Lawmaker Attempts Abortion Ban
This guy has a lot of guts.
Without the blessing of his own party, a Republican Georgia legislator has introduced a bill outlawing nearly all abortions in the state.
Rep. Bobby Franklin put forth the legislation Tuesday despite criticism from fellow Republican members of the state House.
According to a report in the Marietta Daily Journal, Franklin says his bill stand a better chance this year than last because the Democrats no longer control state government.
"If you don't have hope, you don't have any business being up here," he said, responding to criticism that his bill is likely dead in the water.
House members slammed the bill, saying it runs afoul of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
"This is just extreme and irresponsible," Rep. Rob Teilhet, a Democrat, told the paper. "It's flagrantly unconstitutional, and I'm just not sure what the point is."
This seems to be a bit over the top. Although I admire his pure tenacity. And I am a big opponent of abortion in today's age, it would be very hard to pass an anti abortion bill. My strategem on this would attempt to outlaw it a piece at a time, just as gun-rights-opponents currently work on. (With great success I might add.) An all-out ban just won't work in round one.
As for the bill being unconstitutional. What a load of crock! The democrats have had entire bills passed re-writing the constitution. The Brady Bill, restricting firearms sellers to only buy guns that are only made in-state, passing laws in violation of the 27th ammendment.... I could go on. A democratic harpy will not preech to me as to what is constitutional.
What pray tell is the ammendment that gives a women a right to an abortion?
