It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

    I think one of the dakotas tried to make the distruction of embryos illegal...which would force clinics to close.

    Seriously.

     I did a lengthy blog post analyzing the actual language of the bill and the myriad ways it could be interpreted. It's frightening.

  • Oh yeah, this is a hot -button issue down here, y'all. You'd think this would have come from a small, religiously conservative town, but no, he actually represents a suburb of Atlanta (where my IF acupuncturist practices;she's no redneck)

    My understanding is that Franklin has run unopposed for years and years. I'm hoping this latest atrocity will motivate someone to run against him in the next election.

  • This is one of most disgusting and infuriating things I've ever read.

  • It just adds insult to injury. FFS. When I had my D & C, they did it becasue they didn't want me to hemmorhage. There was no heartbeat...I made sure and I was still not miscarrying on my own. I guess if I was dead I would be saving the insurance co. $$$$$

    It's like bad science fiction or something.

  • A friend of mine posted this last weekend on FB and I am sure my blood pressure was up for the whole weekend.  I hope this a**hole does not get re-elected when the time comes.  My emotions were all over the place when I m/c that I can't imagine the extra stress of an "investigation".

  • Someone linked to an article about this a couple of days ago. In that article, it also mentioned that he also tried to pass a law to redefine domestic abuse victims as "accusers".

    Lovely.

  • I think koyn posted this the other day.  I was so disgusted, I did some research and it appears to be targeting elective abortions since no one can overturn RvW, but regardless this guy is a tool...

    All the bills trying to give embryos constitutional rights from conception are fun too.  What are they going to start letting them vote now?  Hmm

  • I just wrote this idiot an email - and this was the response I got:

     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.

     

    Really?   I don't even know why I bothered.  A$$

  • THIS exactly.  This is what I say when anyone brings up anything in conversation about controlling a woman's reproductive rights.  What is going on in my body is none of anyone's GD business!!

  • epphdepphd member

    I can't even describe how angry this made me.  All of these bills to punish women and control women's choices just make me irate.  Having just had a D&E at 12.5 weeks with a pregnancy that was so, so unlikely to even happen and very much wanted ... I simply don't understand why anyone thinks that women just blithely terminate pregnancy after pregnancy because it's FUN. Miscarriage, termination, abortion... no one goes through any of these without an inordinate amount of heartache.  People like Franklin can FRO.
