Today in Arizona: Anti-Woman Trifecta →
“The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill to prohibit abortions after the 18th week of pregnancy; a bill to protect doctors from being sued if they withhold health information about a pregnancy that could cause a woman to seek an abortion; and a bill to mandate that how school curriculums address the topic of unwanted pregnancies.”
In other words, politicians are masquerading as medical doctors and AZ shoots out ahead in the Craziest State of the Union Contest.

" At 11th Hour, Georgia Passes 'Women as Livestock' Bill" (Ms. Magazine) →
“Georgia House passed a Senate-approved bill Thursday night that criminalizes abortion after 20 weeks.”
“For anti-choice lawmakers, it is an item of faith that fetuses feel pain at 20 weeks. But scientists disagree. Reviews of all existing medical evidence have found that fetuses have not developed the neurological structures to feel pain until at least 25 weeks, and likely not until 28 weeks, in the third trimester.”
” Although Roe v. Wade set the precedent for abortion to be legal up to 24 weeks, state legislatures continue to ram through restrictive anti-choice laws. Georgia will join six other states with fetal pain restrictions—Nebraska, Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma and Alabama. North Carolina prohibits abortion after 20 weeks.”
