Legislation that would have required mothers who had failed to report fetal deaths to the police within 12 hours of the delivery to face a possible misdemeanor sentence will be withdrawn, its patron said on Monday.

What a weasel.... trying to claim "I didn't mean THAT" when the intent was truly obvious.

Surely, if the intent was to punish folks for killing babies brought to term and *born*, there would be references to "infants" and "birth", not "fetuses" and "miscarriages".

YES!!!! I feel empowered. Asshole. I spent most of the weekend kicking up a fuss. I'm suspecting that he had a number of "possible products of conception" show up in his mail in the last few days. On the downside, I guess they won't print my letter to the editor. Alas. I'd like my district to be aware of what a true neanderthal asshole this man really is.

Btw..I think you are incredibly cool and wonderful...just thought you should know.

I didn't want an entire state lo-jacking a woman's ovaries. I was going to suggest to the ladies of Virginia to start reporting every menustral cycle to get the point across.
