When state delegates have too much time on their hands...

You get crap like THIS:

I'm vehemently pro-choice, I make no bones about it. It's *my* body, it's *my* choice, and neither you, your neighbor, or anyone else for that matter, gets a damn say.

But, SERIOUSLY? This is worth the time and money of our elected officials? Delegate Bob is the same manly man, who attempted to pass a law, about a year ago, that would have required, that's right, REQUIRED, women to report miscarriages to their local law enforcement officials, within 12 hours. Under penalties of actual jail time ( http://democracyforvirginia.typepad.com/democracy_for_virginia/2005/01/legislative_sen.html ).

Seriously.

Because the blob in my toilet is any of your fucking BUSINESS?

I've had a miscarriage. It wasn't fun, it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't anyone's business but mine, and my husbands.

P-E-R-I-O-D

But, I digress.

I get it. He's pro-life. However, apparently, all those poor little cells, waiting to find a nice, warm, snuggly uterus to climb into, that there is a movement within the pro-life community to adopt (once again, not teasing: http://www.nightlight.org/snowflakeslanding.asp), are not valuable enough, to go to an unmarried woman.

I'm awed by the hubris.
