Brownwback doodles "JESUS+MARY" on notes next to abortion bill he is signing

[proud2BlibKansan]

The Associated Press
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed sweeping anti-abortion legislation Friday, giving his state a new law to block tax breaks for abortion providers, ban sex-selection abortions and declare that life begins “at fertilization.”

Many provisions take effect in July, though the tax changes will be effective for 2014. The measure cleared the Republican-dominated Legislature by wide margins earlier this month.

The GOP governor is a strong abortion opponent who urged lawmakers to create “a culture of life” after taking office in January 2011.

“All human life is sacred. It’s beautiful,” Brownback said just before signing the measure, flanked by abortion opponents. “With this, we continue to build this culture of life in our state.”

An Associated Press photograph taken before the signing shows a page of notes about the bill on Brownback’s desk that included a handwritten message at the top: “JESUS + Mary.” Further down the page were typewritten notes spelling out Brownback’s belief that the bill would create “a culture of life.”

Brownback’s office didn’t respond immediately to requests Friday afternoon for additional information about the notes.

1. His faith is probably a strong motivation for supporting this policy.

That is my guess as to why he did that.

2. Well, duh.

It reminds me of when I was in high school and wrote my boyfriend's name or initials all over my notes. But I was a teenager. How old is Brownback?

5. Uh, they really called it the "Mega abortion bill"?

That's even creepier than the Jesus and Mary routine.

11. This bill forces doctors to lie to women. That's even worse.

Doctors have to tell women that abortion causes breast cancer.

13. Oh, I know. I just find it a little astonishing that they actually gave it that name.

It sounds like something an eight-year-old would come up with. Or an advertising executive.

Which, I suppose, explains the mentality behind it.

6. More religious extremism causes damage to America. nt

7. Oh...

I absolutely loathe sanctimony.

(EDIT: And actually, what people put at the top of papers was J+M+J, FWIW, which is nothing.)

8. Where's the bill to provide food, etc to needy children?

If he cares so much about them, how's is he helping them?

[AngryOldDem]

10. Haven't you heard?

Once they leave the delivery room, they're on their own.

Pro-life is easy, as long as you don't worry yourself with the details.

9. Creepy. nt

[Logical]

12. He is a fucking nut job. This state has went to shit. n-t

[Johonny]

14. The fact he writes Jesus about 3 times larger than Mary

pretty much tells you all you need to know about what he thinks of women.

15. Jesus + Mary, sittin' in a tree, T-R-A-N-S-U-B-S-T-A-N-T-I-A-T-I-N-G

File under "W" for What The Fuck", Gov. Brownpants.
