Abortion Bill Runs Out of Time

None by KCPW

(KCPW News) Eighty-percent of Utah lawmakers voted in support of a bill that would ban most abortions in Utah if the Supreme Court reverses its ruling on Roe versus Wade. But final amendments failed to pass technical hurdles and the measure died in transit. Governor Jon Huntsman Junior said he would have signed the trigger bill if it passed. Lawmakers say they'll be back with the trigger - or possibly another attempt to directly challenge abortion rights in the Supreme Court - next year.

What? Freedom of choice anyone? This is America, right? So our forefathers fought for us to have freedom in all aspects of our lives, right? Besides, um... why are wrinkly old men that can't get erections voting on what women can and cannot do with their/our bodies? 'Cool', you should burn in hell, oh wait... you will. :)
