Louisiana legislators, who have absolutely nothing better to do than screw around with abortion laws (not like any, you know, Hurricanes might come there or anything...or that significant numbers of residents are displaced) have a state senator who calls himself a Democrat. Oh, spare me.
Louisiana's state Senate on Wednesday approved a near-total ban on abortion, rejecting a move to allow the procedure for victims of rape and incest.
The bill would outlaw all abortions except to save the life of the mother. Sen. Ben Nevers, the sponsor, argued against adding any other exception, saying his "heart goes out to" sex crime victims but their wishes are less important than his goal of preventing abortion.
"Lord knows I would never want to hurt a mother, in any way. Lord knows I would never want to hurt a victim of rape or incest," said Nevers, D-Bogalusa.
"A crime committed by a rapist should not result in the death of an unborn child." (my emphasis)
So, if the unwanted child is born, and grows up abused, unloved and perhaps indigent and homeless what's the cost in emotional terms to the child and the mother? Clearly men like Nevers will stand firm in their resolve to not allow such "welfare queens" to feed at the public trough as we all know they do (from the Teachings of ST. Ronnie) in a Cadillac car. Really, what measures does Mr. Nevers propose to take care of this unwanted child? Will his new "goal" be to build a fund for the care, feeding, education of these children until their 18th birthday? Or will his excuse be that perhaps these raped and molested women should have "just kept their filthy legs shut"?
I don't get why men like Nevers hate Women and Children so much. This is purely a selfish act ("his goal") on Nevers part, oh, and what's the penalty for the woman who has the abortion?
Under the measure, doctors found guilty of performing abortions would face up to 10 years in prison and fines of $100,000.
Laws like this, if implemented in many states will ensure that affluent white women can have ready access to reproductive health. Poor women of any color will be forced to remain stuck in poverty and take their children along a miserable road with them. Because Men like Nevers have a "goal". How nice.
I get mail all the time from people who want to know why I think "Christians" are so full of shit. Take a look at Mr. Nevers and his
"supporters" in the Louisiana legislature, and see part of the answer there.

Hope someone rapes Nevers. Let him know how it feels.
Seriously, I'm sick of these assholes trying to run women's lives, when they have no idea what it feels like to be raped or a victim of incest.
Before they get to vote on a bill like this, all men should be raped.
It's all about fear and lack of control; feelings of powerlessness and insecurity; with these folks. They're afraid, have always been afraid, and are therefore doing the only thing that makes them feel powerful and righteous: making other people, women in particular, obey.
The rich will always be able to get abortions. They can simply fly to Toronto, London, Berlin, wherever. By the way, Christians are without a doubt the dumbest bastards ever born. They are wilfully ignorant. They are gross and perverted, obsessed and deranged, vile and pernicious, nefarious and strange, yup, when you say CHRISTIAN, you've said it all.....
yes, the slime. couldn't have said it better.

Well, there is this:
"Republican anti-abortion activist Nicholas Morency pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his computer and offering a bounty to anybody who murders an abortion doctor."
Where would they get kids to abuse if poor women could have abortions?
