Ohio tries to insist on impossible pregnancy operation.

Irrelevant. What matters is that if you don't support this bill you are a bay killer, and can be blamed for its not passing.

Don't know why San Francisco comes into this particularly... Oh, speling eror. Got it.

This seems an odd strategy since the chance of this bill getting to the SCOTUS is so remote. There are other bills out there far more likely to make it.

But that's the point. They WANT it to fail. It's literally a really stupid dare to have it voted down by "the pro-abortion opposition". They WANT it killed. Because that is the spark they desire to take something about abortion to the SCOTUS, where they can then initiate arguments about Roe V. Wade.

What they haven't banked on is that the legislature is dumb enough in some states that it will actually pass. And this bill is as stupid as outlawing gravity, as I said above. But it's not just nonsensical, it's medically unethical and very dangerous. So if it does pass, the repercussions will be fierce. Which is why it should actually, and highly paradoxically, NOT be opposed!

I guess I'm just blown away that reality doesn't have to be a component in a bill being considered.

It seems to me that people are much more likely to try to bend reality to fit their views than change their views to fit reality.

I remember that senator that said that a woman's body has ways to shut down its reproductive system in the case of "real" rape. It was a staggeringly stupid statement but it makes sense when you follow his logic:

1. I'm against abortion in all cases.
2. But others around me think it should be available in cases of rape.
3. Therefore, I have to think of a reason why rape shouldn't be an issue.

This is the thinking of those who oppose climate science. They're pro-business; changing our electricity generation/use would be bad for some businesses; thus, climate science is wrong.

Heck, it works for almost anything:We've got problems; but we're great and we shouldn't have problems; thus, some small, easily identifiable group (blacks, Jews, gypsies, whatever) is dragging us down; if we segregate, discriminate or just kill them, we'll be better off.

But, yeah, wake me when this stupid bill is in danger of becoming law.
