Hey GOP? There are no jobs in my uterus — I promise.
Last March I wrote about a bill Jan Brewer signed into law in Arizona — House Bill 2443, which makes it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion based on the sex or race of the fetus. Apparently, Trent Franks (R-Ladyhater) decided that women and minorities nationwide were in danger of extinction, and that what we really need is a federal version of Arizona’s crazy-ass bill.
Introducing PRENDA –the Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act. At this point, I can’t decide which is more outrageous — the bill itself or the fact that these racist misogynist clowns decided to name their bill after Susan B. Anthony and Frederick fucking Douglass.
From Think Progress,
The bill seeks to somehow protect the “civil rights” of fetuses by banning physicians from performing abortions based on the fetus’s race or sex. While the woman would be exempt from prosecution, physicians who perform the procedure can be sued for damages.
