i don't know what they're trying to accomplish with this, but there is a proposed bill in ohio that would require women who want abortions to get the permission of the baby's father.

well. for our next political trick, we'll be voting on a law that suggests that women's minds and souls are their own, but their bodies will belong to the government for the good of society.

oh wait. same thing.

the likelihood of it being passed is probably about a zillion to one. the defeat of this is probably intended to be a stepping stone to some other legislation that's less draconian.

HOWEVER.

one of the purposes is probably to get a feel for how much of a stink would be raised. you say you live in ohio? that's AWESOME news. tell everybody you know and write letters. a LOT of letters. i will even buy you stamps.

Undoubtedly, though it's no less disgusting.

That sounds like a marvelous idea, I know the women in my family alone will be pissed beyond belief-- and I'd rather not sit on my ass and do nothing.
