How long until someone in OK kills an abortion clinic worker, and tried to argue this as excusing it?
I give it 2 months after passage. Any other guesses? http://www.koco.com/cnn-news/19082604/detail.html Bill Lets Moms-To-Be Kill To Save BabyMeasure Would Authorize Deadly Force If Unborn Child's Life At Risk The bill stems from a Michigan case where a woman who was carrying quadruplets stabbed and killed her boyfriend after he hit her in the stomach. The woman lost the babies and was convicted of manslaughter.Oklahoma lawmakers said they want to make sure that a woman can legally protect her unborn child."Unfortunately, we feel we need legislation like this," said Rep. Mike Thompson. "What we want to make sure is that a woman feels safe and secure defending herself and her unborn child against any attacker." The group Americans United for Life came to state lawmakers and asked for the bill that Thompson co-authored. It's called the Use of Force For the Protection of the Unborn Act."You have the right to use lethal force, if needed, to protect your unborn baby," he said.Oklahoma already has a law allowing a person to use force to protect himself or another person from someone else. The new bill includes an unborn child as "another" person. Oklahoma has also had a law covering the murder of unborn babies since 2005."Anytime a bill encourages a woman to be safe, we stand by that," said the YWCA's Josh Beasley.He said the statistics about the abuse of pregnant women are startling."It is good to see legislators educating themselves on this issue," Beasley said. "Domestic violence is the second-leading cause of death among (pregnant) women nationwide, so it's good they are taking the issue seriously and wanting to do something about it."The bill has already passed the House and Senate with no opposition and is back in the Senate for a final vote. If it passes, as expected, it will go to the governor's desk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293900 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
