What? WHAT?

What are you supposed to do, bring your blood soaked pads to the police station?!

Ok so I don't like abortion (but I support every woman's option to choose for herself). And I really don't like the idea of partial birth abortion. But what the F is that bill trying to accomplish, exactly? Seems stupid to me.

They tried to pass a similar law a few years ago when I still lived there and it failed. I'm not surprised it failed because it's ridiculous, but I'm equally unsurprised that the legislature is trying to pass it again.

So basically if you have a miscarriage, you're supposed to report it and bring... the clots in the toilet... ?? Because that's not going to be traumatic at all.

And if you induce a miscarriage, you're supposed to do the same thing?


Sounds pretty logicallllllllllll.

Calling the police was the last thing I wanted to do when grieving a miscarriage. W.T.F.

We had a similar bill on the table in GA a few legislative sessions ago. Thank goodness it didn't pass!

I have buried a fetus after a second trimester miscarriage that I had unassisted at home after three days of miserable pain and bleeding. After leaving the hospital because they were treating me like shit even though I had a DEAD BABY INSIDE OF ME, and I did not want a D&C.

Anyway yeah, THAT BILL IS NOT OK.
