State Farm Committee OKs Bills on Abortion
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CN) - An Illinois farming committee approved two anti-abortion bills, while opponents watched, wearing T-shirts stating: "Women are not livestock."
The Illinois House Agriculture & Conservation Committee overwhelmingly passed both bills this week and sent them to the state House floor.
The committee usually deals with hog farm and irrigation issues, but often is assigned bills involving gun-owner rights, abortion restrictions and other hot issues due to the committee's conservative tendency.
One bill would require doctors to take an ultrasound of the fetus and offer to show it to the woman, who could decline in writing.

Someone pushed the big red panic button and like the zombies they are, every state with rethugs heading up a federal/state/local committee, is throwing out their entire arsenal of anti-people legislation of:
1.) Remove unions
2.) Remove voting rights
3.) Remove education funds for schools or related public education programs and programming
4.) Remove PPA initiatives
5.) Remove public assistance
6.) Remove anything to do with ARRA
7.) Remove any funding for women's health or add strings to it
8.) Remove anything to do with infrastructure including highways and high-speed rail and public transit
And it is only February. So say come June, then what? With the EPIC FAIL of their presidential line-up, all they had left were the congressional seat and state seat push, and they think that pissing off the electorate this early and during the primaries, is a good strategy? 
Okay. Whatever...
