North Dakota considers hardline abortion ban.
Legislators in North Dakota are set to take up legislation that would ban all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest. The bill passed the House 61-26 in January, and will be debated in the Senate this week. Feministing has details.

What the hell is it with the Dakota’s?
Leave a woman’s body to the woman, for crissake!
March 12th, 2007 at 8:53 pmExtremely cold weather can damage the logical centers of the brain, which is what has happened to Dakotans supporting abortion bans.
March 12th, 2007 at 9:00 pmI agree Trueblue….Maybe it’s time for all the women to leave that state and leave the men to the long cold winter night’s ponder their what ever’s alone….LOL..Sooner or later the pendulum will swing back on course…..Blessings

Mwah.
March 12th, 2007 at 9:25 pmI’m Ok, Sharon. Thank you.
March 12th, 2007 at 9:25 pmGlad to be back.
I wish the signs of spring were so evident here on this spit of land (Cape Cod), but I’ll be patient.
…or WORSE…

It’s like watching Americas funniest video, you know that poor sap, inevitably, who gets his twig and berrys mangled by someone with a bat and ball.

Sorry I made you flinch CE, but after the chastity belt remark, it had to be done.

DAMN Eddie,
…what part of the country are you from?
March 12th, 2007 at 9:49 pmHi, BnF!
March 12th, 2007 at 9:50 pmNice to see you again.
Because South Dakota’s dead-as-a-doornail abortion ban needed a just-as-dead twin from the north

Heh.

ummm, is Brokeback in North Dakota?
March 12th, 2007 at 9:55 pmWhat happened to crazy Eddie’ s post about the 90 year old’s? That was funny and I wanted to add on that..Oh well, here goes any way.
I’m a fan of the cartoon lady “Maxine”…here’s one of my favorites……Getting older is like viseting an all you can eat buffet. What should be hot is cold, what should be firm is limp, and the buns are bigger than anything else on the menu….Blessings all

I was being my usual sarcastic self, of course.
Sorry, I forgot to place the /sarcasm on after my general idiocy.

Of course, if any of you men actually can tie it in a knot, you’ll let us girls know….

March 12th, 2007 at 10:14 pmSpeak the speach, I pray thee,
As I pronounced it to you,
Trippingly on the tongue.
But if you mouth it,
As many of your players are wont to do,
I had as ‘lief the town-crier spake my lines.
Hamlet’s speach to the actors.
March 12th, 2007 at 10:16 pmYah! Lady Z. I want to know and if we hear from any of them I want to bring my camera as proof….Should we offer a challenge…LOL…Nah, just kidding.Blessings
March 12th, 2007 at 10:20 pmKnot, not and naught!
Get thee behind me, thou naughty wench!
On second thought, trade places.
March 12th, 2007 at 10:20 pmYou can dislike abortion, fine. But taking it to banning it even for rape and incest? That’s just bloody sick.
Any and all people who support this need to hit over the head with a blunt object (to whack them into reality).
March 12th, 2007 at 10:20 pmOf course, if any of you men actually can tie it in a knot, you’ll let us girls know….
Honestly, if they can they had better be all alone. The slightest stimulation would be…disasterous.
March 12th, 2007 at 10:23 pmThis is mean-spiritedness at it’s finest. I grew up in Montana and we frequently told North Dakotan jokes. Their current action shows why our jokes were so funny.
An example:
Q: Why do North Dakotans have four holes in their foreheads?
March 12th, 2007 at 10:27 pmA: They’re learning how to use a fork.
Knot, not and naught!
Get thee behind me, thou naughty wench!
On second thought, trade places.
Comment by cunning linguist
Now who’s naughty?
March 12th, 2007 at 10:27 pmThe slightest stimulation would be…disasterous.
Comment by JPark
Noted….
March 12th, 2007 at 10:27 pmAnd once thus tied, can the knot e’er be undone?
For in the undoing of the thing
the strictures which bind doth increase their bond.
And the greater the ministrations
The greater the bond in the bend.
Fey is the knot that ought not be
March 12th, 2007 at 10:28 pmIf ‘twould please M’Lady, just let it be.
Where’s Patrick, he’ll tell you about how he tied it in a knot.

March 12th, 2007 at 10:42 pmI was trying to figure out how this thread went “down the tubes” so to speak. It seems like our dear Sharon started off in that direction!
All I can say is, Good Job!
It’s more fun than the usuall fare on this fair site.

March 12th, 2007 at 10:55 pm61, yes, unless you count astroplaning. ;-)
March 12th, 2007 at 10:58 pmIs that like astroturfing?
March 12th, 2007 at 10:59 pmDo over –
Is that like astrosurfing?
March 12th, 2007 at 10:59 pmmore like what has been described as an “out of body” experience, except it is not confined to this frame of reference/reality.
but I’m just kidding. I’m grading papers in between posts.
March 12th, 2007 at 11:02 pmAstrograding!
March 12th, 2007 at 11:03 pmtheir grades aren’t that high….
March 12th, 2007 at 11:05 pmMaybe cuz they haven’t been astroturfing.
March 12th, 2007 at 11:07 pmThank’s for the notice Bnf…I did it twice today….Laughter is the best medecine right after love…We are all in need of a lot of both….Show your family you love them, smile at every one you see, they will think you are up to something, hug everything and do something for our country as often as you can….Love, Blessings and Peace to you all..Nite
March 12th, 2007 at 11:12 pmGood night, Sharon. You’re so nice.
March 12th, 2007 at 11:16 pmWhy the election in 2000 and 2004 was lost. Quite simply the Democratic ticket didn’t get the full support it
needed because the “fringe groups” Nader, Greens, Kucinich et al, their “outsourced vote” was enough to tip
the balance both times and now we are stuck with this Iraq mess and a mess at home too.
You “fringe” supporters had best buck up and decide if you want a Republican or a BONAFIDE “SUREFIRE”
WINNER IN A DEMOCRAT next time in 2008.
“En Masse Unity” is what will be required in 2008 to bring this whole house of cards down forever.
In other words, stop “stealing” the election FOR THEM!
Vote Democrat
March 13th, 2007 at 2:09 amI’m so sorry that I got stuck on the post above and missed this one.. This is the one where all the fun people were hanging out, and I was scrubbing up the troll bucket.. Darn.. late again..
March 13th, 2007 at 2:41 amI don’t approve of any government deciding these things. I fully approve of North Dakota putting this to a vote. This, like most issues, should be state things that the voters decide. No judge nor any congress should have the right. We the people should decide what behaviors we approve of and which ones we don’t for our state. North Dakato should demand a vote, it is completely unfair to let their congress decide for them.
March 13th, 2007 at 9:22 amShut up Rogerx2. Ever heard of the Constitution?
March 13th, 2007 at 11:27 amAre there any liberal North Dakotans in this board? If so, how do those of us outside your state help your cause?
This is an INCREDIBLY serious issue… The level at which they are taking this attack on Roe v. Wade is astonishing. I’m surprised it didn’t get a larger entry on TP’s front page, but there’s so much going on these days, I suppose space is at a premium!
March 13th, 2007 at 12:25 pm#74 This isn’t an issue that is handled within the Constitution thus I would rather prefer we the people decide for our state instead of having the congress of a state decide. I DISAGREE WITH NORTH DAKOTA DECIDING FOR ITS CITIZENS!!! The people of North Dakota should demand this crap stop now and simply put it to a vote. The will of the people will be heard instead of some grumpy old men deciding for them.
March 13th, 2007 at 2:59 pmThe North Dakotans SUPPORTING THE Abortion Ban SHOULD ALL HAVE BEEN ABORTED AT BIRTH!!!! YES, SIREE, BOB!!!!!!
