HB90 provides exceptions to abortions performed 90 days or more after the conception and amends current abortion law by providing that violating the exceptions in the bill constitutes the second-degree felony offense of » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:52 am I believe so, AdLib. I guess it will go back to the states to decide, but there’s so much wrong with this particular piece of legislation. I’m looking into the actual Utah bills and reading Utah papers online to try to figure out what the heck is going on. » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:47 am Afternoon BDM, and your anger and outrage is justified. I’m so disgusted that I almost feel sick. I suppose women are going to have to prove that they didn’t do anything wrong to have miscarried. I guess the Utah courts don’t have enough to do rather than go after women who miscarry. It’s a frightening piece of legislation all the way around. I want these religious zealots out of my bedroom and out of my womb. » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:40 am That’s a good question, but my guess is that the woman will be blamed for procreating with the wrong blood type. (did you check your email?) » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:36 am What’s even worse, too, is what about poor women who cannot afford prenatal care and that causes a miscarriage? When it comes to organized religions, women have never been held in high regard – women are supposed to be subservient babymakers and homemakers. This is worse than the past – and more like Saudia Arabia where a woman is blamed for being raped. » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:34 am Women will be held accountable for a miscarriage – if a woman drinks, smokes, doesn’t wear a seat belt and is involved in accident, or lives with an abusive man that beats her and if any of the above cause a miscarriage, the woman can be charged with criminal homicide. But it goes beyond that to limiting abortion for a fetus that dies in the womb, and only if a woman can prove that she’s been a victim of incest or rape. Basically the bill overturns Roe v Wade. The bill has passed by a wide margin both the house and senate in Utah and the Governor has already said that he will sign it. This is the beginning of women losing the right to choose a safe and legal abortion, but not only that, it now holds women responsible for abortion and/or miscarriages and subjects women to prison. The ACLU and Planned Parenthood have so far been unsuccessful in fighting this, and this does not bode well for women in the USA. » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 11:26 am Utah trying to pass bill that declares a miscarriage as criminal homicide? – defines legal abortion as a procedure “carried out by a physician or through a substance used under the direction of a physician.” Anything else that terminates a pregnancy is now defined as illegal abortion – including miscarriages. – states that “The killing or attempted killing of a live unborn child in a manner that is not abortion shall be punished as…criminal homicide.” (emphasis mine) – removes existing immunity from criminal prosecution for women “who seek to have or obtain an abortion” or “upon whom a partial birth abortion is performed.” – applies the legal standard of an “intentional, knowing or reckless act of the woman” as punishable as criminal homicide. Translation: If a woman has a miscarriage but didn’t know that she was pregnant, she cannot be charged with criminal homicide. Beyond that, almost anything could leave a woman at risk for criminal prosecution. » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 10:55 am Hey b’ito! » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 10:15 am RW Christian values on display – Carrie Prejean isn » Posted By javaz On February 24, 2010 @ 7:06 am Thanks for the update, Cher! » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 5:55 pm Have fun, Pepe!

According to a House GOP leadership aide familiar with the top-ranking Republican » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 5:37 pm Interpreting the 9th Amendment of the Constitution? [H]ere are some of the things I believe are among the unenumerated rights protected by the Constitution under the Ninth Amendment, backed up by the Fourteenth: • The right to engage in private sexual acts between consenting adults. The Supreme Court was completely correct to strike down state sodomy laws. • The right of reproductive autonomy, including the use of contraceptives and access to abortion as well as freedom from forced sterilization. Abortion is not an absolute right. The state can regulate to protect potential life, particularly later in pregnancy, so long as the burden placed on the pregnant woman is not too severe. • The right to an adequate basic education. The Supreme Court has explicitly rejected this as a fundamental constitutional right, but many state courts have interpreted their state constitutions to protect this right. The Supreme Court would do well to follow their lead. • The right to travel within the United States and to enter and leave the country freely (subject to clearly demonstrated national security needs). • The right to government protection from private violence: when the government knows of the violence and has the resources to deal with the problem, it cannot simply sit on its hands. The Supreme Court has ruled that the state has every right to sit by while a Libertarians, who dislike government regulation of all kinds, small boy is beaten into a permanent coma by his father, even though the state knows all about what is going on. I would overturn that decision. • The right to refuse unwanted medical treatment, including the right of terminally ill patients to reject life support. But not everything is protected as a fundamental right. Here are some things that are not: • The right of a terminally ill patient to prescribed medication with which to commit suicide. • The right of businesses to be free from government regulation of their contracts with employees and customers. • The right of individuals to use their property however they want, without regard to the public interest. » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 5:24 pm I just read an article yesterday about civilian American women – let me look for it – it was really an eye-opener and well done. » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 4:48 pm I think part of it is showing the gullibility of people by slapping the word “Christian” on anything whether it’s books on parenting, CDs, DVDs that people simply assume it’s good. Christianity sells – haven’t you been seeing the commercials on TV for bible DVDs and crystal crosses that contain the Our Father? I’ve always wondered why money collected by churches or ministries doesn’t go directly to helping the poor instead of building Mega-churches and beautiful mansions for the ministers and the Vatican and Salt Lake City are in on it, too. Health care and hunger and housing wouldn’t be a problem if these churches did the Christian thing with the wealth they collect. » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 4:44 pm Here’s another similar story, Blues Tiger regarding home-schooling Christian parenting techniques – This month, another child has died: 7-year-old Lydia Schatz, an apparent victim of repeated beating with — as it turns out — quarter-inch plumbing supply line. Her parents, Kevin and Elizabeth Schatz of Paradise, Calif., who reportedly called 911 to report that she was not breathing, stand charged with her murder. They are expected to enter a plea on Thursday. According to the authorities, forceful and numerous whippings, apparently with plumbing line, may have caused tissue breakdown so massive that Lydia’s vital organs could no longer function. The Schatzes also face torture and abuse charges for significant injuries sustained by Lydia’s also-adopted sister Zariah, 11, who was hospitalized in critical condition, as well as for extensive bruising on a 10-year-old biological son. (The Schatzes have six biological children and three adopted from Liberia.) Though the remaining children showed no visible signs of abuse, they told police they’d been “disciplined” with the tubing as well. Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey told Salon that the Schatzes had explicitly described to police their adherence to the Pearls’ philosophy, which, as one of many horrified anti-Pearl bloggers within the conservative Christian community observes — recalling precisely what prompted the Schatzes’ call to 911 — includes the admonition that a proper spanking leaves a child “without breath to complain.” http://www.salon.com/life/parenting/index.html?story=/mwt/feature/2010/02/22/no_greater_joy » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 4:19 pm Interesting article by Glenn Greenwald – http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/02/23/democrats/index.html » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 3:55 pm You’ve entered the Twilight Zone. » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 3:47 pm It’s okay AdLib! 😆 » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 3:45 pm Googled Touchriver and ZinMag and they are templates for setting up a site. » Posted By javaz On February 23, 2010 @ 3:34 pm It’s okay now, but a freaky trip!

Let alone obtain prenatal care or even pay for giving birth at a hospital?
Oklahoma might beat AZ, but it’ll be a close race.
I believe that’s the point.
Roe v Wade is on its way to being overturned.
Thanks for the info and check your email!
It brought back memories of the 60’s . . .
Pretty cool stuff.
Puppet cleavage!
