GA Legislator Wants to Create The Uterus Police to Investigate Miscarriages

Franklin's H1 basically says that GA has a duty to protect all innocent life from the moment of conception until natural death (yet he also proposed a bill last session that would forbid the CDC from requiring mandatory flu vaccinations in a pandemic; apparently preventing massive deaths from a pandemic don't come under the heading of protecting life). He announces that we all know life begins at conception, and that abortion is "prenatal homicide". Furthermore, he states that a fetus is (or should be) a person under GA law, and thus entitled to equal protection under the law (yet gay adults shouldn't be allowed to marry, according to Representative Franklin, under that same equal protection clause in the GA constitution).

But not content with ignoring federal law on t he matter, he proceeds to take on the SCOTUS and Roe v. Wade. Just because SCOTUS can't define when life begins, doesn't mean that GA can't,s since we all know it begins at conception. Because some idiot like him, who graduated from a damned Bible college and who isn't a lawyer, obviously knows more about constitutional law than the Supreme Court. According to he esteemed but not terribly smart Mr. Franklin, the federal government is only allowed to handle five crimes--and murder isn't one of them (yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds). Since abortion is murder of a "pre-natal human being" GA can and will criminalize it.

According to this law, any human intervention other than delivering a living fetus is a crime. Every physician must make an equal effort to save the life of mother and fetus, but if the fetus does die after such an effort, it isn't a crime. It allows an exception for spontaneous abortion AKA miscarriage--but only if there is no human intervention involved.

It gets worse. Franklin wants to create a Uterus Police to investigate miscarriages, and requires that any time a miscarriage occurs, whether in a hospital or without medical assistance, it must be reported and a fetal death certificate issued. If the cause of death is unknown, it must be investigated. If the woman can't tell how it happened, than those Uterus Police can ask family members and friends how it happened. Hospitals are required to keep records of anyone who has a spontaneous abortion and report it. Yup, we've been waiting for someone to suggest this--and Franklin has.

and more too. Like U.S. Customs agents questioning pregnant women why they are traveling to a country where abortion is legal.

Can't remember exactly who it was (I think it was that Governor that put the 10 Commandments in the Courthouse)but he sent his aides to hospitals to get the records of women who had miscarriages so they could investigate rather they were or not. I think the medical privacy laws stopped him. It was one of the southern states.

in my life. Both were spontaneous, and he wants to know WHY IT HAPPENED? I haven't a damn clue! One was fairly early in the pregnancy (about 7 weeks) and although I called my Dr. he explained that if the paid didn't get any worse and bleeding stopped in a few days or up to a week, not to worry. Nature ook care of everything. The second was a few weeks longer and I went to the ER. They did a D&C to evacuate the bit of remaining tissue in my uteris, and when I talked to my Dr. he said "There really is no explaination. Sometimes something is wrong with the fetus and God takes care of his mistakes."

I wanted those babies BOTH TIMES, and if that legilative AH had started questioning me about what happened...in his usual accusatory tone...I'm afraid I'd probably have been arrested for assualt!

dependent on a tax return??
If it is not possible to take the fetus as a dependent then it is not a person

I want to deduct a couple of million sperm as potential half babies. By Rep. Franklin's impeccable logic that "everyone knows" life begins a conception, half a life has to begin when the man unhooks the woman't bra. And, since every sperm is sacred (Book of Python), I deserve those deductions. Deserve!
