I posted this on my facebook status. It truly upsets me. In fact I emailed him at bobby.franklin@house.ga.gov telling him that obviously he has never had a miscarriage and as I am currently having my second one, if the authorities were to come to my house to investigate me- making me feeling like a criminal, I think I'd lose it. Also that I'm really glad I don't live in Georgia because if I did and this passed I'd move. I then asked if there were not in fact more important issues such as poverty, unemployment, debt, foreclosures, etc... to worry about. Then I kindly asked him to stay out of people's medical charts and bedrooms.
I received the following message:
Due to the unreliability of the General Assembly?s technical support team, it is unlikely that I will receive your email. Please call my office at 404-656-0152.
I think I'm going to call tomorrow- why not? I have free long distance and tell him he is a poopy head!
Re: This makes me sick
Well, as someone who lives in GA....I can think of a few neighbors who probably voted for him.
I now know who funded his campaign, and who he is trying to appease by "trying" to get a bill like this to go to committee. (I doubt it ever will...like most "WTH" bills before it...it stirs controversy and then dies before anyone with half a brain has a chance to vote on it.)
However, for now, it's doing just what he wants it to do: drums up publicity for him, and to show the uber right wing/religious whackadoodles who sponsor his campaigns that he's "fighting for their causes, so please throw more money my way."

I ask this ALL the time! Apparently this this doucheacanoe also proposed legislation in which rape VICTIMS would be labeled "accuser"! REALLY?!? He's a really special kind of person! And of course he has 3 kids.

Holy. Crap. Clearly, he's pro-woman in all kinds of ways.
I just read the comments after one of the articles about it, and someone said "There are parts of Georgia that would repeal the 20th century." Hahahahaahaha. Rednecks.

Yeah, no sh!t. And since one in every 4 pregnancies end in m/c, think about the man hours and money involved to investigate every one of those. Reading that made me feel like the women's rights movement never happened. What a rotten fvcking piece of sh!it he is.

Obviously he's been having issues with IT, but what a DOUCHE BAG to call them out in such a way. How unprofessional can you get?!?!

Also, if anyone is interested, I just wrote a long (no, really - it's long. LOOOOONG) blog post about this, citing language from the bill itself.
