This guy is an evil *******! The whole situation has me so fuming mad. I thought for sure that it would be tossed aside as rantings of a nut job, but it's actually been pushed through. INSANE!!!

My husband just explained to me that it has only been pushed up to the point where people can vote on it and there is no way something like this would get passed through.

He went on to explain more about GA politics but I don't want to start more controversy.

It just pisses me off that this guy could even think this. Does he need attention that bad? Well he is getting it.

It's his stupidity that gets to me too. How dare he even begin to propose that a woman who has a miscarriage and can't explain it deserves to be a felon much less put to death. I'm sure the other GA lawmakers know what's good for them and won't vote it in, but still, the balls on him! He's the same a-hole that wanted to call rape and domestic violence victims accusers instead of victims. He's clearly a moron, but really???? Making miscarriage a crime punishable by death. OMG!

The funny thing is, he is obviously clueless about how many miscarriages there are. I actually laugh about it because I picture a lynch mob of angry women using a machine gun to fire all of their used HPT at him and he gets skewered by them and looks like a demented pink porcupine.

Yeah its ridiculous beyond comprehensions. I wonder how his sisters/daughters/mother (if any) feel about this. It's so stupid! I mean the idea is that that it's only a crime if no one did anything to cause it and it's still idiotic! How does anyone know what causes? Is it because oh no a woman missed breakfast two days in a row? Because her husband painted in the house without enough ventilation (poor DH, death penalty for him).. I'm just surprised there are enough idiots in the state who voted for this guy (if he comes up with this crap like this often). I wonder how he'll fare in the next elections!

I read about this several days ago, and at first was a little miffed. After finishing the article, I settled for laughing about it. No one will pass this! The guy is just a retarded dum dum that obviously doesn't want to be reelected.

The only thing that makes me mad is that he's from the south. I really hope people aren't looping the rest of us in with him.

It honestly takes a lot to get me fired up to the point of wanting to just jump in my car and drive to his house and torture him. I would love to drive him all around the world to each and every one of you for you to do as you with with him.

I don't want to get to in depth in this topic, because it fires me up so--but I will add this.....
It's kind of like saying;
If they get appendicitis, cancer of any form, strep throat, mono, or any of those type things, they should get the death penalty.

Wow. I am totally pro-life/anti-abortion, but that is just nuts. There is no way that will pass.

This legislation has been introduced every year source around 2001. He's out to rattle peoples cages. I personally would like to go after the nitwits that voted for him over and over.
