Mike Pence signed a law that many so-called “pro-lifers” say is extreme, but fortunately was blocked by courts.

The law did something truly bizarre. It would have basically forced women to seek funerary services for a fetus — whether she’d had an abortion or a miscarriage, and no matter how far along the pregnancy was. The law Pence backed would have required all fetal tissue to be cremated or buried, an unprecedented measure in state law. The law also banned abortion if the fetus had a “disability” like Down syndrome, which would have also denied women the right to end a pregnancy in the event of more serious fetal anomalies.

The wording of the burial provision meant that technically, even if a woman had a miscarriage at eight weeks of pregnancy at home, she would have to keep the blood and tissue, take it to a hospital, and have it buried or cremated by a funeral home.

And since about half of miscarriages happen shortly after a fertilized egg is implanted, and occur at roughly the same time a woman would expect her period, many women could be having a miscarriage and not even know it — and thus, technically be violating the law if they didn’t cremate or bury the resulting tissue.

    With some very careful wording, I would think Hillary and/or whomever her VP will be can make mincemeat of this POS on just this one issue alone. But they should go for the max on all of his insane record.

    OK, but what does he think about the biblical view of:

    EATING CHILDREN

    ****WEARING MIXED FIBERS**** (my personal pick)

    are women who abort by biblical guidance going to receive a waiver/reimbursement of cost ?

    putting unruly children to death and or the main menu

    putting adulterers to death

    putting thieves to death

    putting blasphemers to death

    eating dead pig meat

            Perhaps you don’t. But others might say that since the two don’t generally hand the same, one is higher than the other and that would be the most precious one.

            Either testicle, depending on the time of day.
            a.k.a. “left nut”.

    This is one of the most stupid proposed laws I have ever seen. The Governor needs psychiatric help.
