Rhode Island Bill to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth Heads to State Senate
Life News ^ | Mar 12, 2019 | Micaiah Bilger

A Rhode Island bill that would legalize abortion for basically any reason up to birth is awaiting action in a state Senate committee after it passed the House last week.

Similar to the new abortion law in New York, state Senate Bill 152 would allow unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth, even if Roe v. Wade is overturned, and strike down modest abortion restrictions in the state.

Though the bill easily passed the state House, its fate is less certain in the state Senate, the Providence Journal reports. Support for unborn babies’ rights is growing, and polls consistently show that most Americans oppose late-term abortions.

The state Senate Judiciary Committee appears to be narrowly divided on the bill, and it has not scheduled a vote, according to the report. Five of the nine members appear to support the pro-abortion, but the report identified freshman Sen. Mark McKenny of Warwick as a possible swing vote.

Prior to being elected, McKenny said he would support codifying Roe v. Wade in state law but not “efforts to go beyond Roe.” When asked this week about the bill, however, McKenny said he “likely” would vote in favor of it.

I wish “Little Rhody” had not been a separate state. In the words of N. Pelosi: “It’s not worth it.”

maybe we should consider something like this:

A Bill to Regulate the Hunting and Harvesting of Attorneys

(Creating section 372: of the California State Civil Code)

§ 372.01 Any person with a valid California state Rodent, Skunk, or Predator hunting license may also hunt and harvest attorneys for recreational, relaxation, and sporting (non-commercial) purposes.

§ 372.02 Taking of attorneys with traps or deadfalls is permitted; however, the use of United States Currency as bait, in denominations of $20.00 or more is prohibited.

§ 372.03 It is unlawful to hurt or trap attorneys inside saloons, cocktail lounges, strip joints, or brothels or within one hundred (100) yards of BMW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz dealerships.

§ 372.04 It is unlawful for a hunter to wear a disguise such as a Hooker, Reporter, Accident Victim, Physician, Chiropractor for the purpose of attracting and hunting attorneys or shout; “WHIPLASH”, “CLASS ACTION”, or “FREE DRINKS” for such purpose.

§ 372.05 The willful killing of attorneys with a motor vehicle is unlawful. If an attorney is accidentally struck by a motor vehicle, the dead attorney should be removed to the roadside and the vehicle should proceed to the nearest car wash.

Get them early, then no need for ovens in concentration camps. These evil monsters cannot see the difference between this and what the Nazis did. It is simply the logical consequence of the one that started it, Margaret Sanger.

That is the law of the land now - for all 50 states. They are codifying it on a state level just in case Roe v Wade is over turned and then state laws will apply.

Propose selective abortion as a solution to the “gay gene” problem and watch heads spin.
