Arizona Congressman Who Proposed DC Abortion Ban Gets Hilarious Payback from Pissed Off DC Residents

Trent Franks, the Arizona Republican who proposed a 20-week abortion ban in Washington, DC and then barred DC's pro-choice female delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton from speaking out against the measure has a new problem on his hands: a flood of DC residents who are bringing their municipal complaints directly to the Congressman, who they're calling "Mayor." From potholes to rodent problems to public transportation complaints, DC residents have followed Franks' lead and begun funneling their problems to him rather than the city's own government. Well played, smartasses. Well *********** played.

Arizona Congressman Who Proposed DC Abortion Ban Gets Hilarious Payback from Pissed Off DC Residents

The saddest part is the comments that follow from women who have faced the requirement to abort because of medical reasons. They need love and support not imbecilic interference by someone who is driven by medieval thought.

I wonder some times if we are not doomed as a species by people like him?

Some additional info for this humanitarian.

When confronted on the absurdity of a man from Arizona trying to legislate the rights of women in DC, Franks explained that it wasn't about Arizona, or DC, or women. It's about "the pain of the fetus."

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) wants to restrict abortions in the District of Columbia, but he refuses to allow D.C.’s delegate from testifying on behalf of the city’s residents during a hearing about his proposal. Franks’ “fetal pain” bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy in D.C. even though there is no scientific proof that a fetus can feel pain at that point and a fetus is not viable.

If we here in AZ are willing (and oh hell yes we are) would they like to keep him? He wont be missed. Sadly we have many more here just like him.

DC has enough idiots, thank you. Kindly keep yours in your own state.
