Morons and Vaginas: Tennessee Lawmakers Think a Fetus Can Fly Out of the Womb at Conception
Introduced by Tennessee state Sen. Mark Pody, the proposed legislation is an amendment to Senate Bill 1236, which attempted to ban abortions after six weeks' gestation , even though that's before many women know they are pregnant. That bill did not gain the state legislature’s approval this term. In January 2020, the legislature will be back to vote on Pody’s new amendment , which replaces the six-week ban for a ban on all abortions from his preconceived notion that viability begins at the moment of conception – or when sperm meets with an egg (he does not seem to know the difference). The most significant red flag with this suggestion is that under this logic emergency contraception like certain IUDs and Plan B would also be banned since that form of birth control can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
