Here's a link to the text of the actual legislation:


http://www1.legis.ga.gov/legis/2011_12/fulltext/hb1.htm


One guy writes a bill, with no cosponsors and no cosigners, submits it to the legislature where it will be read in committee and quickly die, probably as a campaign ploy to inflate his pro-life ranking, and the Left is freaking out as if it's a big deal.


The Leftist are the crazy people running around screaming about how the sky is falling... This bill poses zero risk to anyone, it will never get out of committee, much less be brought to a vote, much less be signed into law. It is the Left who needs to admit the bill is a non-starter and move on.


It's not like Bobby Franklin is sitting in the White House unilaterally declaring a federal law he disagrees with is unconstitutional and is therefore instructing his lackies to stop defending the law in court.... I'm sure if any president ever did that the Left would have the same kind of hysterical reaction they are having to this non-issue of a bill. Oh... wait... :rolleyes:


Unlike Pocket and his Progbot buddies, I bothered reading the actual bill. Franklin is making the case for abortion to be a states rights issue rather than a federal one. Read it for yourself and see how "crazy" it sounds. The pro-abortion crowd will scream in horror as they do with any legislation put forth by non-Leftists, but the pro-lifers will have a difficult time finding much to disagree with. Franklins rationale is pretty solid, he makes a very compelling argument, but one I feel is more appropriate for the judicial rather than legislative branch of government to consider.
