Maybe The Craziest Law Up For Consideration In Any State Legislature In The Nation

This isn't something to take lightly. In South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska, there are bills that would allow the murder of abortion doctors. In Wisconsin and Ohio, there are bills to end collective bargaining. Chris Christie has already cut a billion dollars from education in New Jersey. Tennessee wants to remove the collective bargaining rights for teachers. In Missouri, they want to roll-back child-labor laws. In Mississippi, they want to make a license plate honoring the KKK founder. In Iowa, they want to end voluntary pre-school. In Montana, they want to support Global Warming. Here in Pennsylvania, they just want to do nothing, and eliminate members. Yet, I found something in crazier, even worse.

Georgia State Representative Bobby Franklin has proposed a bill to criminalize miscarriages. Yes, you'll have women being forced to hand over their tampons as evidence and stuff. Aside from the fact that this is gross, and seems batshit crazy, this is real legislation, under consideration. As much as I laughed at this when I saw it, you'd have to think this bill has a chance in Georgia. A fairly pro-life state like that, with Republican majorities in the legislature, this bill would seem tailor made for passage. This is the most ridiculous, insane bill yet, but it may become law. Can it be enforced? I hope not. I'm not holding my breath though.
