Rep. Darshun Kendricks bill, a rebuke to HB 481, would also potentially make sex without a condom aggravated assault

Im dead serious, Kendrick tells Rolling Stone, adding that she expects a draft on her desk by the end of the week. The point, she says, is to bring awareness to the fact that if youre going to legislate our bodies, then we have every right to propose legislation to regulate yours.
Kendrick is spearheading the legislation, which she admits has little hope of ever passing the Georgia House of Representatives, to highlight the absurdity of HB 481, a bill that similarly legislates womens bodies. On Thursday, the Georgia House approved HB 481, which would outlaw most abortions once a doctor can detect a heartbeat in the womb or around six weeks before many women even realize they might be pregnant. The controversial heartbeat bill passed by a vote of 93-73. The bill will now head to the Georgia State Senate and, if approved as expected, to Governor Brian Kemps desk.

(16 posts)Before a doctor can prescribe Viagra (or any other erectile medicine), the patient must acquire a permit to impregnate a womb from the person with the available womb. And all of this paperwork has to be fully public.
Only fair.

But seriously, I wish Representative Kendrick was my representative, instead of the pathetic rePuke currently holding that position even though he is the Speaker of the House. Such a shame; I really liked his father, and my niece briefly dated his younger brother.
