Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Pregnant? Worried? Eh. Go to jail.

HB 1750 and SB 875 require women and minors who get an abortion to give all kinds of personal information like "Who is paying for this abortion?" and "Did your daddy or uncle or brother diddle you?" and my personal favorite, "Who referred you to our clinic?"

If the patient gives incorrect information she can go to jail for up to one year...wait for it...so can the doctor! My answers would be "None of your damn business, perv!" And what if she says,"I'm not filling out this form!" can she still get an abortion? Since when is giving the name of which girlfriend gave you a clinic's name a requirement to getting an abortion! If the same person refers several young women to the same clinic can she qualify for discounts or bonus points of some kind?

Go ahead, put them in jail where they'll have their children at the expense of the state and be wards of the state..cause we all know what a bang up job they do with the kids!

here's a priceless gem of a quote from the hearing on the bill: "abortion made me a crackhead whore."

did you know that abortion leads to an increase in traffic accidents? it's true. i learned it last night in the state affairs hearing.

True, Nate. We learned all that and much, much more.

Witnesses also informed the committee that abortion is soley responsible for packing Texas prisons with women inmates -- because after you've had an abortion, there's nothing left but a death spiral into alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity and a life of crime.

It might have been funny, if only every member of the committee except Jessica Farrar and Marc Veasey hadn't been nodding like bobblehead dolls.

Yes, and when the children are born we can sell them to the state for $500!!!!!! I so wish I was a woman so I could sell my baby... Thank you Sen. Patrick, thank you.
