This does seem to be a case of trying to "wedge" the issue. I've thought about this some more since last I posted and I've come to the conclusion that I'm against even the more benign versions of these bills, because they are duplicating and adding unnecessary complications to existing laws concerning self-defense. We already have plenty of laws and rules governing self-defense. And I think to be consistent with my "less government is better" stance, that this needs to be opposed both because it's complicating the legal code and because it's an obvious political strategy that's being couched as a self-defense measure for pregnant women when it really isn't about that at all.
And I don't like either democrats or republicans trying to pull that kind of underhanded crap.
(And BTW Rev? I know you're passionate about these sorts of things, but could you please
tone down the name-calling and teeth-knashing? Recommendation: Don't post angry. Compose post in notepad. Curse and swear and go all out. Leave it for 24 hours. Come back to it. See if you still feel the same way or if it would advance your argument to sound that angry. I try to do that myself these days.)
