What? Texas? This is something you’d expect from Massachusetts.Unless,of course,the small child in question is “of color” or “gay”.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Jessica Farrar (D-Houston). Though Rep. Farrar is a self-described Catholic, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas has praised her...

Kinda like the way they praise that devout Catholic....Edward Moore Kennedy.

Just another pro-death liberal.

Abortion is one of those issues in which I have never ever been able to see any merits of any kind for those who practice it.

It cannot possibly be anything else but murder. I could see it when I was ten years old and first heard of the practice which was illegal at the time but beginning to be debated.

The fact that it is legal now shows just how depraved the human being is capable of being.

Killing a two year old seems worse to me than murdering an 80 year old.

Rep. Farrar acknowledged that the bill is unlikely to be voted on by the House floor.

Introducing and getting it to the floor for a vote are two entirely different accomplishments. There have been over 7000 bills introduced this legislative session the vast majority of which won’t make it to enactment.

The fact that it is even introduced should be of MAJOR concern.

Nuts are elected in every state I’m sure and aren’t just the captives of Texas....... You can’t control what is introduced but it doesn’t have to be enacted.

Killing a two year old seems worse to me than murdering an 80 year old.

You mean "geezericide" ... a lesser crime than murder and applicable only if the geezer was dull, tended to ramble, or was costing the government money for medical care ... punishable by up to six months in jail? I expect Obama to push for its legalization to help fund his UAW bailout and other payoffs to his political supporters.

BTW, the "two year" reference was the prison term; the age after which murdering your own baby becomes murder is twelve months. Also, the reasoning is supposed to be that the mother is presumed to be suffering from post-partum psychosis and less responsible, not that the baby is short and thus less human. I'm with you and don't agree with their reasoning - murder is murder, let the judge/jury decide if there's a reason to deviate from sentencing guidelines.

This is just a step towards legalizing 7th trimester abortions.

They should make an amendment to that bill that reduces the sentence to a maximum of 2 years of any father who kills a woman who killed his newborn child in the last 12 months. After all we need to consider the fathers “mental state” as well...

Someone should introduce a bill that limits the punishment for killing a legislator to two years in prison.
