A Tennessee legislator, Stacey Campfield (go on, try to guess his party affiliation), is pushing a bill to require death certificates for aborted fetuses. The reason?
To “see how many lives are being ended out there by abortions.”
O rly? The Office of Vital Records already keeps public abortion records. The difference between those records and the proposed death certificates is telling - fetal death certificates would reveal the identities of the women who undergo abortions.
And of course, only aborted fetuses count. Does it really matter that 10-25% of clinically-recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage? Maybe, but see, you can’t blame sluts and feminists for those.

I guess nothing should suprise me any more. But I can’t get over what a mean-spirited idea this is. Who on Earth is this supposed to benefit?

That is the most terrible, self-serving idea I have ever heard. This benefits no one but the radical pro-lifers who could use this information to harass those poor girls. As if they have not gone through enough.
Why can’t they just leave people alone to make their own decisions, in private without fear of being ostracized?

Oh, the aborted fetus is not a child and it shouldn’t have a birth certificate? That’s fine. I agree.
The ironic thing? If these women were attacked or injured and the fetus were to “die” or become unviable, that person would be charged with a homicide in most jurisdictions. The women could also civilly sue for losing a child.
So if she aborts it, its not a child. If she “loses” it, it is?

The right to carry a fetus to term and give birth is just as vital as the right to have an abortion. Anyone who stands in the way of either should face justice.

I personally blame everyone for everything.
