Holy Cow! According To GOP Life Or Personhood Begins With The Start Of The Woman's Period

According to an article on Daily Kos the GOP is pushing legislation in Arizona that asserts that life begins with the beginning of a woman's period. You have to be a mental contortionist to keep up with these screwballs. It is an attempt to push the 20 week abortion rule back. So I guess an egg is a person even if you are a virgin. Talk about immaculate conception.

I still cannot wrap my head around the concept.

I posted earlier about this nonsense. It bears a repost it is so outer limits. God helps us all, if there is a God if these people gain more power.

PeeWee Herman?

The onset of menses is the exact OPPOSITE of "life" as it signals that conception did not take place, or if it did take place, that it was not viable for some reason.

Can these people get any more clueless? I mean, that is just flat out ignorance of the most basic biology.
