By now you all know that Senate Bill 79 sponsored by Elizabeth Tori, Jack Westwood, Katie Stine, Gary Tapp Tapp Tapp and Damon Thayer was killed in committee on Tuesday, thanks to Tom Burch. Mainly because no one could figure out why on earth it was appropriate to force a seance with your fetus.
But last night Elizabeth Tori attached the contents of SB 79 to House Bill 241, legislation covering things like Botox and tattoos.
Why is this problematic? Because HB 241 goes back to the House today for agreement/concurrence and a full House vote. That means that if Greg Stumbo calls it for a vote, the bill will pass with the fetal seance amendment attached.
Frank Simon has called out his fellow bigots to get it passed:
This is at least a “minor” miracle! Senate Bill 79 – The Ultrasound Bill – was killed in Rep. Tom Burch’s House Health & Welfare Committee on Tuesday morning with an 8-8 tie vote. Last night, courageous senators attached the essence of SB 79 to House bill 241 that had cleared the House and was in the Senate. Today, it will be sent back to the House for “concurrence” (agreement) by a full House vote. If House Leadership let’s the House vote, it will pass!
This is major!!! Kentucky is already one of the nation’s leading pro-life states; this will help the nation as we offer more leadership to the pro-life faithful across the country.
So. If you think Simon is whack, aren’t keen on forcing a woman to have a seance with her fetus and think Elizabeth Tori is a first-rate hack for being so deceptive, get in touch with Greg Stumbo and let him know there’s no way this should be approved by the House.

Why do Democrats hate little babies so much?

Lizzie Tori is yet another example of a state senator who should not be in a state legislature, due to the fact that her mind is, and always has been, narrower than vermicelli.

Oh, Smack Down. It’s not so much that they hate babies - in fact, they’re the ones who typically encourage things like, oh, I dunno, health care for them, affordable day care for them, etc. - I think it’s more like why do conservative Christians hate women? (Of course, even a lot of the GOP-leaning non-Christians hate them, too.)

This bill should be named the ‘Rick Santorum Play With A Dead Baby” Bill.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there’s an unhealthy obsession with abortion in Northern Kentucky politics. This tactic exemplifies it. Tori and Tapp and others like them should move to NKY, and then we can let the region secede.

As I said on VV, “abortion is murder” is an assertion. A baseless one. It assumes way more than is factual or scriptural.

Ray Re, by the way, I get sick of pictures of oysters and fish heads too, but should we outlaw them too, based on our “feelings”? That’s the mentality of the self-righteous “pro-lifers”.
