Elected representatives writing these bills have absolutely no idea what they are talking about! They have no idea what the bill is about!

Someone must be writing this legislation for them and they merely vote on it, not knowing what they're doing!

The paola must be impressive!

It's obvious the state reps are morons who couldn't write a grocery list.

But why is ALEC so oppressive to women's rights?

I thought they were merely errand boys for the Koch Bros.

I remember hearing something about them pushing social legislation in other states, but am too tired to look it up.

things to say about this bill. She detested the anti-abortion rights crowd. Back during the days of attacks on abortion opponents she would rail against "these men" who tell women what to do and what not to do. She used to get pretty worked up!
