Terri Proud: Know-Nothing

Terri Proud always wanted to be on a bandwagon

What can you say?A bandwagon is a bandwagon. And Arizona State Representative Terri Proud (R) of Tucson jumped on the let's-impede-women-seeking-abortion-in-any-way-we-can bandwagon recently by writing an e-mail to a constituent who wrote to her in opposition to an in-process bill that would ban abortions in Arizona after the 20th week of pregnancy (that's about 2/3 of the way through the second trimester):

Personally I'd like to make a law that mandates a woman watch an abortion being performed prior to having a "surgical procedure". If it's not a life it shouldn't matter, if it doesn't harm a woman then she shouldn't care, and don't we want more transparency and education in the medical profession anyway? We demand it everywhere else.

Until the dead child can tell me that she/he does not feel any pain - I have no intentions of clearing the conscience of the living - I will be voting YES.

 Erm, Terri, the fact that that dead child can't talk should be telling you something.

I have to wonder-- if women in search of abortions are required to watch an abortion, who will they watch?I mean, this is a chicken and egg sort of thing. Who will be the first, and will she go to jail because she had no one to watch? I mean, Terri, really!
