South Dakota passes Menstrual Inspection Act, will imprison women who miscarry
The new law requires women who are menstruating to report to the South Dakota Department of Health to have their menstrual blood inspected for evidence of human beings. Since South Dakota passed a law (statute text) designating fertilized eggs as human beings, even a normal-seeming menstrual period could be a miscarried human being. Women who are determined to have discharged human beings from their uteri will be subject to charges of manslaughter, punishable by 2-6 years in prison.
A special provision of the new law calls for the construction of Reproductive Protection Centers, where convicted women will be closely supervised.
In a related collegiate scholarship program, young men whose GPAs are 3.5 or above will be able to reproduce with the convicts. The bill's sponsor, Peter Princely (R), described this provision as "the best way to ensure that our best and brightest can reproduce and multiply."
Yes, I made that up. But it's not so far-fetched now, is it?

this was the launch of South Dakota's stem cell research program.
some less-used milking stalls on some farms to automate the process ... maybe some enterprising farm boys can set one up as a 4H project.
Worship the "baby" ...
...Please. I don't want to wake up one morning to hear HRC talking about how so many of us find menstruation a "sad and tragic" event.
Honestly, don't joke: to some people, that's actually perfectly reasonable.
This is a description of life in Romania under Ceausescu. It's horrifying to think that this was happening just over 20 years ago:
"In 1984 the legal age for marriage was lowered to fifteen years for women, and additional taxes were levied on childless individuals over twenty-five years of age. Monthly gynecological examinations for all women of childbearing age were instituted, even for pubescent girls, to identify pregnancies in the earliest stages and to monitor pregnant women to ensure that their pregnancies came to term. Miscarriages were to be investigated and illegal abortions prosecuted, resulting in prison terms of one year for the women concerned and up to five years for doctors and other medical personnel performing the procedure. Doctors and nurses involved in gynecology came under increasing pressure, especially after 1985, when "demographic command units" were set up to ensure that all women were gynecologically examined at their place of work. These units not only monitored pregnancies and ensured deliveries but also investigated childless women and couples, asked detailed questions about their sex lives and the general health of their reproductive systems, and recommended treatment for infertility.
Furthermore, by 1985 a woman had to have had five children, with all five still under her care, or be more than forty-five years old to qualify for an abortion. Even when an abortion was legally justified, after 1985 a party representative had to be present to authorize and supervise the procedure."
Yes, I made that up. Now that's not so far-fetched now, is it?
with your pinhead rammed that far up your ass?
Except change the gender, and you have your basic men's rights advocates' position.
i.e: aborting a pregnancy at 6 weeks = ZOMG BABY MURDER!!!!11! sob sob. Yeah, exactly the same! Wow! Awesome argument you've got there, guy - really original too!!!
i.e: Women abort because they can't be bothered to look after a child - okay, so this really smart theory can't account for people who do have babies and then neglect them, but hey! No-one's perfect! Specially not the tool who wrote that post!
i.e: [yawn] Women terminate their pregnancies because they don't want to endure the, er, "discomfort" involved in growing a new organ, having every single one of their bodily systems affected, and risking permanent injury or death - all for the sake of a blastocyst that we never invited in. The cheek of it!
We're such a bunch of lazy, self-obsessed bitches, ain't we?!
Retards like this remind me why I'm so lucky to live in the UK, a country where it's taken for granted that I am allowed to make the decisions about what happens to my body.
a la Orthodox Israel, in the most extreme sects.
Worship the Baby, worship the monthly slough!
Exp if there is a bidness aspect to it all.. and Religion is God's own Bidness.
If true, my thought was: eugenics can't be too far behind...
Bwahahahaa.
