Texas TeaPublican wants pregnant women to carry dead fetuses - to term!!!!!

[LongTomH]

Actually, the proper term would be 'non-viable:' Texas House Proposal Would Force People to Carry to Term Non-Viable Fetuses.

A Texas Democrat on Thursday called this year’s state legislature the most misogynistic she’s seen in her 21 years as a state representative, following a house vote that would have ended legal abortion care for pregnant Texans whose fetuses have medical anomalies that aren’t survivable outside the womb.

Farrar took to the microphone after a debate about how best to retool the state’s social safety net turned to abortion, with a freshman Tea Party lawmaker attempting to insert an abortion ban into a bill concerning the bureaucratic operations of the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler) put forward an amendment that would make it illegal to terminate a pregnancy after 20 weeks, even if a fetus “has a severe and irreversible abnormality,” effectively forcing families with wanted, but unsustainable pregnancies to carry to term at the behest of the state and against the advice of their doctors or their own wishes.

Schaefer said, during debate over his amendment, that suffering is “part of the human condition, since sin entered the world.”

Can these people get any crazier?!?!?!?

1. Since Loony Louie Gohmert is from Tyler also, I have a theory.

Breathing that combination of red dirt dust and pine tree fumes addles your brain.

9. Must be a lot of lead paint chips around there, too.

And these nincompoops thought they were potato chips.

2. I would like to see this jackass suffer, instead of the women he's targeting.

There is no good reason, not one, for a woman to carry a non-viable fetus to term.

3. The comments on his facebook page are a hoot!

8. I just looked on my phone at FB

He's so - goofy looking! He just - he looks - dumb.

10. They usually do look dumber than a stump for some reason.

Inbreeding? Evolutionary throwbacks?

He reminds me a bit of the Mittwit.

4. That good ol' Small Government!

6. Such a shame that the lawmaker in question

will never himself be carrying a dead fetus.

7. a bit of advice, LongTomH

NEVER ask if teabaggers can get any crazier - they CAN and they WILL

[hifiguy]

11. Yep. Asking how deranged they can get

is like asking "how high is up?"

12. looks like he cleaned his facebook

[gratuitous]

13. Matt Schaefer is onto you libruls!1!!

He knows you librul ladies just love to have abortions all up in your ladyparts, some of you even going so far as to have the beautiful, healthy baby inside your ladyparts fake their own deaths, just so you can have your precious abortions. Matt Schaefer is having NONE OF THAT, by golly! He's onto your insidious little scheme, and he's willing to pass a law that will teach you librul ladies a lesson you won't soon forget.

What. A. Fucking. Idjit. Tyler, Texas must be so very proud of itself.

14. What's that about gov't meddling in our health care?

FFS....

Sick.

15. It is certain that women die carrying a dead fetus.

It decomposes and poisons the woman's body.

Many years ago we had a dog who had delivered a couple of puppies and a couple more were not delivered, so she had to have an emergency hysterectomy. Dogs are mammals, humans are mammals, and all mammals basically have the same reproductive tracts and mechanisms.

16. They are disgraceful politicians.

I live a couple of hours away from Tyler. There is a church on every corner. I figure if I get a Bernie sticker for my car I will probably get my car firebombed. I am serious.

I had a large Obama sign in my yard during both 2008 and 2012 and I had people (I can't say rednecks around here because that is politically incorrect) driving by in pickups and yelling "FUCK OBAMA" several times. They need to get a life.
