We've Got Your X'd Out Number.
Categorized under When the Right is SO wrong | Tags: Abortion, derechos de mujeres
I'M ACTUALLY BUSY editing a piece (editing this article for Chican@ Art Mag again AGH!!!) but this news item popped into my box and it completely turns my stomach. I thought I'd share that pleasant feeling with you on this most candyhearted of days!
Brace for it:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Legislation introduced in Tennessee would require death certificates for aborted fetuses, which likely would create public records identifying women who have abortions.
Rep. Stacey Campfield, a Republican, said his bill would provide a way to track how many abortions are performed. [...]
'All these people who say they are pro-life — at least we would see how many lives are being ended out there by abortions, said Campfield."
Death certificates on abortions proposed, Yahoo News, 2.5 hrs ago
Yes, good idea. And I can see how Republicans would be for keeping track of deaths by the intensity with which they are pushing for a body count in Iraq.
It's an interesting experiment in time-travel this fella is proposing. You know, getting your death certificate before you have cause to be given a birth certficate.
Most interestingly, this little snifter of Tennessee poison proposes the attachment of a woman's SS# on the Death Certificate. I suppose...so they can make sure to affix the proper number of gold stars on her TIA profile? It's very thoughtful of Mr. Campfield (R-TN). Maybe we should thank him.

Ah yes, Patria Postetad, the old Roman principle that the woman, the entire family belong to the Father. What old is new again, this time around Father is the State, and you bitches belong to him now!
Illogical, wrong and plain stupid!

First the death certificates, then the autopsies, and then the "murder" charges.
Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Well the next logical step would be to register condoms and track their use. Oh, wait, it's the mysogony, duh.

They will find some way to make it a crime to miscarry.

Sylvia is spot on, does anyone remember this
-Prosecutors investigating a suspected abortion can force an examination of a woman's uterus and vagina:-

this propsal is not the endgame.

I'm so embarrassed. The General pretty much summed up my feelings on the matter. It's just the most sickening thing.
So, does this mean they have to come up with some sort of conception certificate to justify issuing a death certificate before the birth certificate?
What's next? A license to fuck? Oh right. That's called a marriage certificate.

"What's next? A license to fuck? Oh right. That's called a marriage certificate."
lol, Rosie! hey, and even then you still can't have certain kinds of sex in some states or use vibrators/dildos. You have to use those discreet ones:

So wait, Luisa, you're already here, I thought it was Sunday? I haven't checked the blue laws lately but I think most forms of sex are only legal in Orleans Parish! (Used to be illegal there too, I remember the day certain non-reproductive activities were decriminalized!)

I saw a 'nez' at the Gravatar graffiti wall… blog, whatever. Is that you? I've been trying to get my new avatar to take since early Saturday. The old one has been fucked up since Gravatar went down, months ago. No response whatsoever from mojombo.

Two days ago, I added a gravatar (80x80 .PNG format) to my account. When I selected it, nothing happened - i.e. the green "default gravatar indicator" remained locked around the old image. I deleted the old image, and the new image registered as the default, but the old, deleted gravatar continued to appear next to my comments.
Today, at 2:15 PM EST, I uploaded the image again, this time as an 80x80 .JPG. When I selected it as my default, a message appeared asking for confirmation. The red frame switched to green, and now I'm just waiting for the generic "G" to turn back into my old gravatar again so I can make nasty comments at the wall.
I've been afraid to do that. I get the impression that the site owner is a bit passive aggressive...or dead. I'd feel bad if he turns up dead.
