Are you hucking kidding with this abortion monument?
Why isn’t the Governor holding a tear-filled press conference for the monument to unborn children? Guess she knows it’s cringe.
Kinda strange the impending “monument to the unborn” hasn’t had much fanfare from Sarah. Several of Governor Sanders’ key pieces of legislation were signed into law with all the pomp and circumstance we could imagine. For crying out loud, the presser before the LEARNS Act was signed featured never-before-seen executive-level white lady tears. She was certainly proud to roll back child labor laws a few weeks later.
But for some reason we can’t quite detect, she’s not bragging about a new law she signed late last week: The Monument to Unborn Children Display Act.
Maybe it’s because it’s a little much even for her.
This law creates a fund from donations and charges the Secretary of State with building a monument of state Capitol grounds that commemorates the fetuses aborted from 1973 (Roe v. Wade) to 2022 (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org).
The legislative findings and intent are pretty doggone wacky, citing Alan Guttmacher’s 1933 weirdly worded Life in the Making: “Through some unknown mechanism, as soon as one sperm penetrates the egg, the capsule becomes altered and successfully bars entry to all later applicants.”
There’s also the quiet-part-out-loud line that states our duty to “protect the life of every innocent human person.” Gotta leave room in the language for capital punishment!
These are just a few examples of the truly bizarre language throughout this bill. No wonder Sarah didn’t tweet about it.
