NC GOPer compares women’s bodies to real estate as House passes longest abortion wait in country [View all]

Finally, a GOPer willing to state what we knew all along--that they consider a woman's body to be property...chattel. Sad thing, the legislator that said it is also a woman.

North Carolina Republican state Rep. Jacqueline Schaffer successfully urged her colleagues to pass the nation’s longest waiting period for abortion on Thursday, arguing that woman should have a cooling off period just like real estate transactions.

In her address to the North Carolina state House on Monday, Schaffer explained that HB 464 would increase the waiting period from 24 hours to 72 hours, joining states like Missouri, South Dakota and Utah.

“We see waiting periods all throughout areas of our society in the medical context as well as in the real estate context, in the, you know, issues relating to marriage,” Schaffer insisted. “The poorest decisions that we make are the ones that we make under pressure and on impulse and so we want to ensure that women have ample amount of time to receive that information so that they can make the best decision.”
