From the 'You've got to be kidding me' Department

Add this to the list of atrocities we can expect if George Bush, James Dobson and their ilk are successful in making our uteruses property of the federal government.

So, with no place to get an abortion after 16 weeks, what does a panicky,
17-year-old girl do if she's four months pregnant? Erica Basoria decided to
try to induce a miscarriage. When that didn't work, she asked her boyfriend
to step on her stomach. A week later she miscarried.

This is all bad enough, but what comes next is fantastically worse: Texas
also has a shiny new law criminalizing "fetal murder," and the fact that
Basoria wanted a miscarriage in this case doesn't matter. Her boyfriend,
Gerardo Flores of Lufkin, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for his
part in this tragic comic opera.

I'm speechless.
