Women May Be Able To Use Deadly Force To Protect Unborn

[Jaime]

[quote]Oklahoma lawmakers are close to approving a bill that allows pregnant women to use deadly force to protect their unborn children.

State lawmakers passed the Use of Force for the Protection of the Unborn Act this week and if the Senate approves it in a final vote, as expected, it will be sent to the governor's desk.

The bill was crafted after a Michigan woman who was carrying quadruplets stabbed and killed her boyfriend after he struck her in the stomach. The woman lost the babies and was convicted of manslaughter.

"Pregnant women who refuse to abort their child are too often attacked by their partner in an effort to force a miscarriage," said state Rep. Mike Thompson, who co-authored the bill after Americans United for Life asked him. "Women put in this position should have the legal right to defend themselves, with lethal force if necessary."

State Sen. Glenn Coffee said the measure will allow victims of domestic violence defend themselves and their unborn children.

"Unfortunately, the unborn child is often the primary target of domestic violence," Coffee said in a statement. "Domestic violence has been acknowledged as a primary cause of stillbirths and miscarriages."[/quote]

Probably can't and won't. They would stir up opponents no matter their stance.

It was also an Oklahoma Senator who introduced legislation to put in the conscience exemption for health care professionals. The Catholic Senators help vote it down unfortunately.

Okay...not to be weird and completely off-topic, but am I the only person who finds the abbreviation for Planned Parenthood kind of amusing in a childish sort of way?

you would.

perhaps, they should change their name to

Department of Objectionable, Overrated, Depreciated Young

or

Persons Objecting to Oppressing Papooses

or

Constituents Against Children Alive (okay that was a bit of a stretch)

or

Institution Defying Internal Organic Tots/Tykes Stupidly
