I knew it would happen. It only takes a simple majority, which sort of defeats the purpose of a veto in the first place.

Ugh, I didn't even consider this possibility. I guess I should have and seen this coming,

Now the even scarier 12 week ban has passed the House and is headed for the Senate. It's a fucking scary time to have a uterus in this state.

That sucks.

Also, holy rampant typos, Batman! I caught two, anyone else see them?

"The House-sponsored measure is based on the disputed argument that a fetus can feel pain by the 20th month of pregnancy, and thus deserves protection from abortion. Beebe vetoed the bill Tuesday, saying it contradicts the U.S. Supreme Court's 1976 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion until a fetus can viably survive outside of the womb, which is typically at 22 to 24 weeks."

If I were pregnant for 20 months I think I would shoot myself. Unless I was an elephant.

I think conservative states are passing all these laws because they really want Roe vs Wade tested again at the Supreme Court, they think it will be overturned.

This is super scary. Also, yes, lawsuits are going to abound. Hopefully the courts will find it unconstitutional.
