I haven't seen this posted, so if it's a dupe delete it please.

A Delegate in Virginia wants to make it a crime to not report a miscarriage to the police within 12 hours.

Unbelievable.

1. Dupe

Here's a link to the other (pretty large) thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=2916861&mesg_id=2916861

Of course, I don't have the power to delete or lock posts. :P

3. And I did a search too!

Seriously. I searched on the subject line and it didn't come up. Ah well. Glad it's already been posted.

2. If you don't tell them how will they know?

Will they get all OB-GYN records and hunt you down? Will the doctos go to jail? WTF.

4. WTF!?!?!?!?!!!! This has got to be some kind of sick joke! If it is not

What the hell's next denying marriage licenses to those people who cannot have children?

5. What???? My ob/gyn said something like 2/3 of all pregnancies

end in spontaneous abortion!!! Oftentimes, the woman is not even aware she is pregnant--so then what? They prove later she was due to digging up urine drug screens that we give for just about everything except buying groceries---what? Arrest her? And what of the grieving, distraught woman who has lost a wanted pregnancy? She now has to call the freakin' police state and let them know about her MEDICAL, not legal problem?

God these people will stop at nothing to try to rule women.

I hope someone gets organized to stop this complete invasion of privacy!

Fascists!

6. it would be so cool if women, en masse,

sent this assclown all their used sanitary products every month for his official "product of conception" check.

7. Then he would be sure to know of any miscarriages!

Perhaps we should only urinate into jars with tight-fitting lids and send that to him too (C.O.D., of course)
