House of BULL 954

So apparently now, Georgia state Rep. Terry England, is in support of HB (House Bill) 954 that would require a woman to carry a dead fetus until birth. This could kill the woman, but as long as the gestation period was good and long what's two dead bodies on our hands? Right?


I understand. If we allow women to remove the dead fetus from their wombs after 20 weeks of pregnancy, than we would in effect be aborting a baby (albeit a dead one). Since we can't give women any excuse to take care of their own bodies we must force them risk their lives for the sake of a stillborn fetus. It's only fair? I'm sorry. I'm trying to see how this makes sense, but I just can't. I wish someone other than Terry England could explain it to me. You see he has tried. 


According to Rep. England he was told by some chicken farmer  "Mr. Terry, I want to tell you something. You tell those folks down there when they quit killing babies, they can have every chicken I’ve got." (HuffPost Article) And this was, somehow, Terry's excuse for supporting a bill that would risk the life of a mother to enable a dead baby to be born -- what the hell to chickens even have to do with it? I would love to ask this chicken guy, and Terry England alike, just what exactly they think we will do with all those chickens if we had them?? We may kill and eat them. OR we may wait for them to birth their very own delicious fetuses before we snatch them up, break them open, fry the embryos and devour them with a little salt and pepper. YUM! 


I think if Terry England would like to compare us women to pigs, cows and chickens, maybe we should start harvesting our own eggs and serving them to him on a golden platter. Even vegetarians eat eggs Mr. England! Unless you plan to kill women and hickory smoke them for your dinner table, you should probably keep the animal analogies down to a minimum.


p.s. I'm feeling chesty today. (To The Daily Show: Since you're probably writing material for this right now, you have my permission to use this post. And BTW, I have a great idea for a morbid skit.)
