PA House tries to restrict abortions

A bill introduced into the PA House of Representatives would move the state’s ban on abortions from 24 weeks to 20 weeks and make illegal the dilation and evacuation procedure, the safest medical procedure for abortions in the second trimester.  The bill calls that procedure “dismemberment abortions.”  The bill will also relabel the medical term catheterization to “sticking a plastic tube up a man’s dick.”

OK, I made up that last sentence.  My point is, why would the PA House of Representatives try to ram through a bill relabeling medical procedures and adding restrictions to abortions; a bill that members know Governor Wolf would veto anyway?

Oh, yeah.  This is an election year.  It’s not about abortion.  It’s not about “saving babies.”  It’s not about medical care. 


What this bill is about is saving legislative seats.  These representatives have no medical knowledge, no ethics, and no sense.  What they do have is a drive to save their seats, their salaries, and their pensions.  When you vote this November, dump every Republican on your ballot as well as any Democrat who voted for this bill.
