Mississippi Abortion Bill on Life Support
"SENATE QUERIES MAY KILL MEASURE" screamed the headline of the Gulfport Sun-Herald (screaming from the bottom left hand corner of page A6 right next to the big Lowes Ad). Good news nonetheless.

The state senate wants to compromise with the house on the final bill. The senate wants the bill to go back to a conference committee between the two bodies. The relative house committee chairman says he's not certain he will bring the bill up for a vote if its returned for compromise talks.

I don't know what the senate wants added or subtracted, the story does not say, but a recent story indicated the senate wanted women to have sonograms.

Die Bill Die!

1. They just realized that the majority of americans
and even the majority of republicans, don't want to outlaw abortion. Not to mention that they might just be killing the golden goose if they actually suceeded in banning abortion.

2. Incredibly true
Can you imagine the conversation in the republican cloak room. We can't pass this bill we have to just keep milking the issue, keep inflaming the ignorant base. If this becomes law we are out of here.
