"Not to be overshadowed once again by its taller, skinnier sister Mississippi or its more popular cousin Ohio, Tennessee is reminding the rest of America that it, too, can suck with the best of them.
Supporters of the word jambalaya of a constitutional amendment, called SJR 127, say that it will simply give lawmakers the power they require to appropriately regulate abortions. Detractors call bullshit, saying it opens the door for an abortion ban and allows Tennessee politicians to crawl up in everyone's uterus and have a look around. Pro lifers are, predictably, overjoyed."Now what has her so upset? The audacity that the TN voters will have the opportunity in 2014 to vote on whether their elected legislators, answerable to the public will have the right to put restrictions around abortion such as informed consent, waiting periods, and late term abortions done in hospitals . What? Isn't that already in place?
History lesson....it was.
These restrictions were voted into place by the bipartisan elected legislators. But then what do they know?? Enter the ACLU and Planned Parenthood who never met an abortion they did not like. They decided that the liberal judges on the state supreme court might friend them and friend them they did. So the ACLU and PP sued saying that any restrictions around their fave action....abortion ...might be an undue burden on the woman and their guess was right...the judges agreed.!
They said that the state constitution written in the 1800's held a right to abortion in TN. Out with the regulations.... but the public spoke again through their elected bi partisan legislators and said that the people of TN deserved a say so here. Now amending the constitution is a laborious project and many friends of the abortion industry fought against this coming up for a vote in the state legislature. But persistence pays off and a funny thing happened to those die hards. They were voted out of office or had a swift conversion experience.
So yes, Jezebel has heard the alarm from PP and ACLU.....yikes if the people vote...could it be??
Better get innuendo and razz matazz going here speaking in lofty terms like "bullshit" and calling names...whatever!!
We can't let things such as informed consent happen in TN. Imagine, just imagine, if women knew facts and then considered them....imagine if late term abortions were only done in hospitals? Oh the sound of silence in those cash registers at PP??
FOTAI ......Friends of the Abortion Industry....you must stand with us.
JEZEBEL WHERE ARE YOU?
