| How will this affect the HOV rules? Can I drive on 66 at rush hour by myself if I'm pregnant? |

What is the liklihood that it will pass?
How many states have this restrictive an interpretation of personhood? - Seriously Worried |

What I think we need is a DNA database of all males. Whenever there is an unwanted pregnancy, the woman goes to a DNA identifying clinic. The father is identified and must provide food, shelter, medical care, etc. to the woman for the duration of the pregnancy and to the child for 18 years. No more abortion necessary.

Probably not, but if this were to pass and be upheld, I would seriously like to see someone attempt this. Personhood amendments are such jackassery. Do you pour batter on the table and call it muffins? Do you throw a totally raw steak at someone and call it supper? It's not a person till it's done cooking. |

Looks like a great deal until you realize that you have to pay double for movies, plane tickets, lunch buffets (appropriately enough)... |

You sound like a guy. And not in a good way. |

You sound like a bitter woman who has never been able to conceive. See how fun it is to make wild sweeping guesses? I'm a happy mother of one, but unlike the anti choice jerks trying to ruin America, I recognize that an embryo or a fetus is uniquely "uncooked", and it's the pinnacle of stupid to pretend they are. |

| This idea was put on the ballot in MISSISSIPPI and 55% voted against it. Is the VA legislature more extreme than the people of MS? |

Because I acknowledge that between conception and birth a woman's body is doing hard work? Anti choice people think a lot of unthoughtful things. |

| Please everyone take a big deep breath and think. Think on this. Contraceptives should still be able to be used because it prevents an egg from being fertilized or an egg now zygote from being implanted to grow into a human being. If a sperm enters an egg it is called a zygote -- and NEEDS TO BE IMPLANTED on the uterus wall (optimally) with the the placenta. Without it life can't continue. The zygote will not divide and develop. I propose that a zygote is not a fetus until it has divided into enough sections and grows a heart. Until then, it is fertilized cell matter with the possibility of becoming a fetus. Without a heart it can't pump the blood of life through- out new organs that develop soon after. Yes it is precious. But even a woman's body can reject a fertilized egg and "abort" it. Now if you have a situation where it is a difficulty for you to be pregnant, need family planning and medical assistance to prevent pregnancy...contraceptives or other things are needed. These are especially needed for people who have medical issues and/or are on medications that would harm a fetus should a woman become pregnant. Do you know how many woman PRAY that a medication that they were taking while unaware that they were pregnant doesn't harm their unborn baby? Or a cancer treatment? Why oh why does my Virginia Congress have such blinders on? Who are they answering to if not the general public? I also believe that it SHOULD NOT BE DECIDED IN THE CONGRESS/SENATE. If they think that their voting public is so in favor of this, put it on a referendum. Not ramrod it through in this manner. |
