So, would you like Orville Redenbacher or Act II ?

[…] a bill which would require a woman to get the consent of the father before getting an abortion. Coble seems to think this is unworkable. Is […]

Destined to die in committee. Democratic Majority ROCKS! See ya, suckaz!

is there seriously not a provision for rape victims or dead fathers or whatever?

I see this as the chance for all the guys who are supportive of reproductive rights to step up: be ready to sign the paper for women who need the help. I mean, really, who’s gonna be enforcing this one? It is to laugh.

I didn’t include the part where they made that falsification of papers some kind of special crime.

Just how do they intend to prove that those people never had sex?

Maybe we’ll all have to get written permission to have sex and file it down at the courthouse before we undertake the deed so that folks can check and make sure that we’ve done it before we file our abortion papers.

That’s a damn good idea Aunt B.

Well, ya know, Ceausescu required all women to have monthly fertility and pregnancy tests, to be sure that no one had an abortion. And when married couples regretfully started to abstain, since they couldn’t deal with keeping on having children, he did send people to inquire about how come pregnancy wasn’t resulting. And I’m sure that anything a two-bit dictator could do, we can go one better here. But the truth is I’d rather laugh at it.

this congressman, Adams, of Ohio, also included language in the bill that the woman would also have the option of submitting a list of names of possible fathers and the physician would then have to conduct paternity tests, find the right man, and then get his permission.

i’d suggest submitting his name in every ‘request’.

Don’tcha just think the MEN are the ones who are gonna hate this? Talk about airing dirty laundry. Imagine some married guy who got his mistress pregnant. This bill is not going anywhere, people.

[…] out for men since they don’t have to be pregnant. They need some power, too. Joe Powell has a suggestion for the women, though. Make sure Rep. Adams is on your list of potential sperm […]

Pardon me whilst I hurl.

What is so hard about just designating one guy as your infanticide notary?

There’s not enough teeth in that bill for the hysterical vagina dentata in this thread.

[…] This enrages me […]

Smantix has a great idea. I think he should be the designated inseminator for every woman who wants to have an abortion.

Imagine some married guy who got his mistress pregnant. This bill is not going anywhere, people.

Hee. Especially when some wag presents the scenario of a Congressional aide getting caught signing the paperwork for his boss. “Uh, Senator …?”
