Republican Lawmaker Wants State to Issue Death Certificates for Abortions

Remember Stacey "Black Caucus is More Racist than the KKK" Campfield? Well, the looney Republican lawmaker is at it again.

Campfield -- the blogging legislator -- has a little bill that would require the state to issue death certificates for every abortion performed in this state.

Of course, to be consistent, they'll have to issue death certificates for every miscarriage -- along with coroner inquiries as to why each woman had a miscarriage, perhaps. And just to cover all their bases, how about death certificates for every period any woman who has had sex in the past 4 weeks?

Never mind little things like logic, or the real world tradition of issuing death certificates to beings who actually have something called birth certificates!

Obviously,
this is another one of those cute little right-wing ploys to establish
a legal precedent for overturning Roe v. Wade. According to right-wing
fairy tale thinking, if a never-born fetus has a death certificate,
then . . . voila! . . . a never-born fetus was once-upon-a-time a person, or the equivalent of a real born-alive person. Cuz the state says so.

Hell, let's get to the heart of it. What we're talking about is the gift of sperm. So let's have ejaculation certificates, and base everyone's age on when their sperm donor got his rocks off that time.
