Canada tries again with trans rights bill, Arizona goes off deep end

What is it going to be Jan? Rational thinking or baloney? (Photo - AZfamily.com)

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — Perhaps prompted by the Jenna Talackona-Miss Universe saga, Canada’s Parliament sped up a trans rights bill that was introduced last year with a second reading last week. The bill will add trans people to the Canadian Human Rights Act and make violence against them a hate crime. This is Canada’s fourth attempt at enacting a trans civil rights law.

The Arizona legislature this week sent three dubious bills to Gov. Jan Brewer to sign, one of which says that pregnancies begin 2 weeks before conception (date of a woman’s last period). Not only this makes a mockery of a woman’s biology, it is also a legal Pandora’s Box that will make a beeline to the U.S. Supreme Court. Another bill requires that schools teach kids that for unwanted pregnancy, adoption and birth is the most acceptable outcome. A third bill prevents doctors from being sued if they don’t tell parents something about the fetus that might cause them to terminate the pregnancy.

I won’t begin to get into this shameless runaround of a woman’s right to make choices. But I will once again stress that it is the President of the United States who appoints justices to the U.S. Supreme Court – the final arbitrator of nutty laws like these. Please vote accordingly.

Respond to Idaho state Sen. Chuck “women-use-rape-as-an-excuse-for-abortion” Winder

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — I’ll just right to the gist here: Idaho state Sen. Chuck Winder thinks women might claim “rape” as an excuse to get an abortion.

Winder, the sponsor of a mandatory ultrasound bill, says that providing an exception in his bill for rape, incest victims and medical emergency to avoid the invasive ultrasound probe would be a loophole for women to use to get abortions.

Winder: “Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this. I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.”

Feel free to contact Chuck and speak your mind:

[UPDATED] Invasion of your vagina — Big Brother wants to take pictures with ultrasound devices

Republicans in Virginia considered the usage of Vaginal Probes like this one. (Photo: DailyKos)

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — [UPDATED Backlash triggered? See below.] Are we a civilized nation? I wonder. To control the behavior of society, state House leaders in Virginia seriously considered penetrating ultrasound devices into the far end of a woman’s vagina to take pictures. Once in place, it needs to be manipulated around to find and capture the best images. A scheme I don’t think even George Orwell envisioned.

At least one Republican got a grip on reality before going off the deep end and called off the vagina invasions – Gov. Bob McDonnell at the 11th hour decided he wouldn’t support such a manuever. The House quickly rustled up an alternative bill which requires an external ultrasound instead before a pregnant women is allowed to terminate her pregnancy. With the state Senate already on board with a similar plan, unwanted photos of your uterus may be just what Big Brother ordered.

While all this was going on, Virginia legislators tabled a “personhood” bill until after the 2012 election. Does this mean it’s still being considered? Geez, are we devolving as a society? Like I said earlier, I wonder.

——-

A backlash may be occurring — Michelle Goldberg in The Daily Beast: “Gov. Bob McDonnell balked at an ultrasound law, and a personhood bill fell with it. Are Republicans finally noticing that their crusade against reproductive rights is hurting them . . .

Somehow, the Virginia bill became a symbol of right-wing prurience, invasiveness and insensitivity. The nationwide reaction was so strong it took personhood with it.”

Romney supported Komen’s decision to cut Planned Parenthood

Richard M. Nixon was pro-choice. Current GOP presidential candidates make Nixon look better and better.

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — In the Nobody Is Surprised About This Department, Mitt Romney says because Planned Parenthood is pro-choice, he supported Komen’s decision to cut Planned Parenthood.

However, I’m wondering why would Romney pull the abortion card and butt himself into the Komen discussion while it was still evolving? Komen initially said it wasn’t about abortion and here’s Romney showing everyone his “A” cards — how could this have helped Komen then? Now that Komen is destroyed, here’s Romney and his support for a decision that lead to the destruction of an organization that helped hundreds of thousands of women with cancer.

Romney isn’t presidential material. He is good, however, at destruction. Vote accordingly.
