Pictures of Fertalized Eggs Now a Sex Crime in North Dakota?
This is 2 months old, but new to me.

You see this image? That’s a fertilized human egg. The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill on Feb 19th 2009 which states that this picture is considered child pornography. The vote now goes to the North Dakota Senate for a vote. If passed, it means that if you post pictures of your ultrasound on Facebook, you run the risk of having to sign up for the sex offender registry.

4. Check this out...
From the article: "This bill that passed by 51-41 this afternoon declared that a fertilized egg has all the rights of any person. Sponsored by Rep. Dan Ruby, R, this effectively outlaws abortion in North Dakota.

Outlawing abortions obviously this leads to unregulated abortions, since abortions take place regardless of legality. However, having back-ally abortions is the least of womens’ concern. If the North Dakota Senate passes it as well, North Dakota would be able to prosecute women who have miscarriages as being criminally negligent."

These people are freaks. They honestly believe this will lead to abstinence in all but married women, who will ultimately carry all pregnancies to term, regardless of the situation or health condition of themselves or the fetus.

at the rate North Dakota is going they'll soon be stoning unmarried women who "fornicate" soon. They apparently see us as nothing more than white male fetus factories.

14. Isn't it funny how we used to think books like the Scarlet Letter
were morality tales trying to warn us, now they are instruction manuals for religious wacko's.

6. it reminds me of an old science-fiction novel
Edited on Sun May-17-09 11:35 AM by tocqueville
where the guy arrives on a planet populated by intelligent amoebas and is arrested for smuggling pornography, because the customs found an "earthling" biology book in his luggage showing drawings of unicellular organisms reproducing by scission. It shows that reality often overrides fiction...

10. Call me a freak if you want...
...but there's something about a nice, tight blastopore that really gets me going.

Don't get me wrong, I would never actually do anything. It's just something about the neatly defined germ layers... :hide:

13. The author of that article
Edited on Sun May-17-09 12:15 PM by ohheckyeah
made a number of assumptions without backing them up. I couldn't find anywhere else that said the bill made a photo of a fertilized egg child pornography. Regardless, the bill was voted down by the ND Senate:

The Senate voted 29-16 Friday to defeat the controversial House Bill 1572, known as the personhood bill, with no debate.

Sen. Curt Olafson, R-Edinburg, the only person who spoke on it, said the bill would create more serious legal consequences for the state than any bill he’s ever seen as a lawmaker.

...He said it “reaches far beyond protecting human rights” into unrelated consequence because it declares all fertilized embryos persons for the purposes of myriad laws that have nothing to do protecting human rights.

A physician “faces an impossible dilemma” if needing to treat a pregnant woman for cancer that could harm a fetus or embryo, or a woman experiencing an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, he said.

16. Yeah, my wife caught a glimpse of a picture like that once.
After she saw it, we had such hot sex that the neighbors all had cigarettes.

Republican stupidity seems to have no bounds. It is an obvious ploy to circumvent Roe v. Wade and not even a clever one. I assume they'll be having mass biology book burning parties now - probably sponsored by FOX.
