Lawmaker says she won't hear Alaska abortion ban bill

[TexasTowelie]

JUNEAU — A state House Health and Social Services Committee co-chair says she will not hear a bill that seeks to outlaw abortion in Alaska.

Democratic Rep. Ivy Spohnholz of Anchorage says she has "no interest in making it illegal for women to get an important health care procedure."

The bill was introduced on the last day of the regular legislative session by Republican Rep. David Eastman of Wasilla. He has been outspoken in his opposition to abortion.

It defines a "preborn child" as a person from the time of conception.

1. And that "preborn child" has two parents, yes?

Among the many things that outrage me in this recent spate of bills denying women autonomy, is the apparent oblivousness to the fact that women do not get miraculously pregnant without some male involvement.

Let's pass legislation that makes the men fully responsible.

Some years back I used to say that the only way to get men to understand things like child support would be if women would cheerfully hand over their children to those men. Unfortunately, most women understand that most men are completely unwilling to take responsibility, but more to the point, the very vast majority of women are not willing to trust their babies to the men who fathered them. And doesn't that say a lot.
