Why would you not link to the two pieces of legislation at the heart of this when 1) they are very brief and easy to follow, and 2) it would show the exact text of the law instead of mere interpretation. My only conclusion is that the authors want to whip up a false frenzy by making grand claims, then not supporting them with evidence.<br /><br />Claim 1: Tennessee has now passed a bill that identifies mothers who miscarry as murderers.<br />Truth: from HB3517: Nothing in subsection (a) shall apply to any act or omission by a pregnant<br />woman with respect to an embryo or fetus with which she is pregnant, or to any lawful<br />medical or surgical procedure to which a pregnant woman consents, performed by a<br />health care professional who is licensed to perform such procedure.<br /><br />It specifically excludes acts by the woman and any lawful actions of her health care provider. Sorry, your claim is just wrong.<br /><br />Claim 2: this bill goes further than covering, say, a violent attacker harming an expectant mother<br />Truth: Re-read the above excerpt, that's exactly where it stops. It excludes the mother and her doctor. Who else is going to be physically influencing the physical state of the fetus?<br /><br />On a separate note: Miscarriage is also referred to as "spontaneous abortion" by THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, not just Sarah Palin. Abortion, according to medical texts, with no bias or spin, simply means: 1. expulsion from the uterus of the products of conception before the fetus is viable.<br /><br />I know this is a sensitive and highly emotional issue, having gone through a miscarriage myself, but that is no excuse for blatant misrepresentation of the facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-24585783434564710772012-05-14T20:17:22.831-08:002012-05-14T20:17:22.831-08:00How long before they deny women to actually have a...How long before they deny women to actually have any more children and just clone Republicans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27693087297681826182012-05-11T22:45:04.170-08:002012-05-11T22:45:04.170-08:00I live in TN.
