sorry but it must be told i try not to be political but→[More:]
Today, Rep. Troy Woodruff filed a bill to make abortion illegal in Indiana.

Less than 24 hours after Speaker of the House Brian Bosma promised to uphold the law of the land, we face HB 1096, which mocks both the U.S. and Indiana constitutions. HB 1096 would derail decades of progress for women’s rights and make abortion--which has been a safe, legal procedure--a Class C felony. Doctors convicted of performing abortions would serve two- to eight-year prison terms.

i apologize again but, my god--

OK, but that would be un-Constitutional, and the bill writers know it.

So what is this? The test case to get sent up to a newly-dragged-to-the-right Supreme Court?

Seems pretty stupid.

That is almost certainly the intention, teece.

Here's hoping that some time in the future, his mug shot looks just like that picture, a la Tom DeLay.

anyone so inclined and in the area, please help the email campaign at PP, if not other legal and constitutional means of protest all those in the US are said to be freely allowed and encouraged in the national propaganda.

Another possibility: a bill that's timed to be getting challenged just as the 2006 election season comes around.

That way Republicans can keep getting votes from people who don't know anything about the majority of their policies.
