HORRIFIED.

I am so angry I can hardly catch my breath. We live in the year 2005 and yet there are still people out there, namely CAVEMEN who still believe that women are just dirty trash who are there to give men their progeny and well, that's pretty much IT.

Through the blogging grapevine, this link was discovered:
Virginia's proposed bill HB1677, “Report of Fetal Death by mother, penalty”

This simply states that in the event of fetal death without medical intervention (read: miscarriage), it will be punishable by law as a misdemeanor (12 months/$2500) if a woman miscarries and fails to notify authorities within 12 hours.

Yeah.

WOMAN PREGNANT. WOMAN BLEED. WOMAN NO TELL. WOMAN GO TO JAIL. *pounds fist into chest*

Since I am so furious my fingers keep skipping across the keyboard, you can read a better blog entry on this topic here:

The author is a Dean supporter, but regardless of your political afflilation, if you a tremendous jackass who finds this law to be acceptable, you should pull your head out of your own ass. It is NOT acceptable. EVER.
