Oh my. What the hell?! Pshaw!! Mel says she can sort of see it making a bit of sense...since it could, in theory, prevent some women from continuing to be beaten by their boyfriends or male friends or family members, or whatever. That's far too extreme though, that law. Damn governments. Pshaw.
Y'know, I heard that in certain places in India, girls used to have to get married before puberty. Otherwise, the parents could be considered guilty of abortion because eggs were being wasted...
Damn, I shouldn't have said that. Some neocon will see that and think it's a good idea. x_x
That has got to be the nastiest thing I have heard in a long time. I am disgusted that a MAN thinksthat he can run a womans life like that. How dare the government think that miscarriages = calling th cops to report it. How about the women that have a miscarriage and DONT know it? Like the police arent busy enough NOW they might have to deal with something as stupid as this. Miscarriages are bad enough without having to report them.
This has to be one of the dumbest things that I have ever heard. Having a miscarriage is nowhere near what they are proposing to make it. Besides which, you would hope that government officials would be too busy to come up with BS like this. Unfortunately, we never ceased to be amazed at the real stupid S*it that comes out of the 'houses of government.'
