House passes bill for monument to unborn

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee House has passed a bill that calls for a monument to unborn children to be placed on the state capitol grounds.

If passed by the Senate and signed into law, private funds would be raised for a monument to victims of abortion.

The House passed it by a vote of 63-15 this week following a brief debate that got so heated that Speaker Beth Harwell had to demand order.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Jerry Sexton, a Republican from Bean Station.

Democrats from Nashville demanded to know why there was a need for such a monument because there is a memorial for children who have died at Centennial Park.

how about funding things like pre natal care. Early childhood education. Support for parents (mostly mothers) who need to care for their children. How about (and boy, is this a novel idea) tracking down deadbeat dads and making them support their children.

Think you are fully formed at conception, like the king cake baby.



But in reality a zygote has to grow into a fully formed human being.

Nothing will change that. You're not a person until you are born. I don't understand why people must inject "life" into something that cannot sustain itself without it's host. It cannot think, doesn't have emotions. It's just cells multiplying.


I often wonder if some folks believed their Barbie Dolls were real.
