Missouri governor calls lawmakers into special session to impose abortion restrictions

Lovely.

Yesterday, Missouri governor Matt Blunt notified lawmakers of a September 6th special session to impose new restrictions on abortions.

"I am pro-life and am committed to doing everything I can to help reduce the number of abortions in our state," Blunt said in a written statement accompanying his special session call.

(How about increased access to contraception? Guess not...) One restriction Blunt is attempting to pass is a law that would allow parents to sue people who take their minor daughters across state lines to obtain an abortion (Missouri has a parental consent law). The others aren’t much better. Sigh.

I simply LOVE the logic behind all of this.

I mean, i couldn't really hate a pro-life politician who supported full access to controceptives.

But I can hate one stupid enough NOT to see the flaws in his or her logic.
