Missouri lawmakers pass 72-hour abortion waiting period, override gov's veto

Missouri lawmakers enacted one of the nation's most stringent abortion waiting periods Wednesday, overriding a veto of legislation that will require women to wait 72 hours after consulting with a doctor before ending a pregnancy.

You find out the answer real quick. How could the NFL or the criminal justice system seem so tone deaf to defend women against violent crime? Oh, yeah because we live in a country where laws like this pass time and time again. These laws are designed to treat women as children, or worse vassals of the state. There is no valid medical reason for them. This might be the worst yet as there is no protections for waving the period in cases of rape or incest. There is no valid societal reason for this law other than to shame women that need medical treatment and validate violence towards women. The people that voted for this law are disgusting human beings.

Before lawmakers convened, scores of abortion opponents gathered for a prayer vigil in the Capitol Rotunda, asking that God grant courage and boldness to lawmakers voting to enact the waiting period.

Because apparently far too many Americans think God hates women too. It just gets depressing after a while doesn't it.
