Interesting article from the Casper Star Tribune today.

Associated Press writer-CHEYENNE — Two of the most emotional issues in politics are set to hit the Wyoming Legislature this week: abortion rights and same-sex marriage.
The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday narrowly endorsed a bill titled, “Women’s right to know.” It would require doctors who perform abortions in the state to inform their patients beforehand of alternatives and warn them of potential risks and side effects. Supporters of the measure say they want to protect women from physical and psychological problems they say have been associated with abortion. But abortion rights groups say they view the bill as part of an effort to ban the procedure in the state.The bill will likely be debated on the House floor some time this week, House Speaker Roy Cohee, R-Casper, said.
Okay, abortion rights groups say they view the bill as part of an effort to ban the procedure in the state? Well, read the freaking bill morons — that is not what it does. I wish it did it, but it doesn’t. Learn to read you baby killing left wing liberal freaks.
Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday endorsed a bill that would specify Wyoming won’t recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Senate President John Schiffer, R-Kaycee, said Friday he expects debate on the marriage bill will be lively. “It will be controversial, that’s a controversial bill,” he said.
Both the abortion and same-sex marriage issues promise to draw lobbyists and concerned citizens to the Capitol.
Rep. Bob Brechtel, R-Casper, sponsor of the abortion bill, said he’s not trying to erode abortion rights.
“My only intention is to help them avoid injury and long-term regrets. It has nothing to do with stopping abortion,” he said.
John Birbari, of Lander, who is president of the Wyoming Family Coalition, said his group strongly supports Brechtel’s legislation.
“Anytime you undergo a surgical procedure, there should be full disclosure about what the risks are and what you can expect,” Birbari said. “That’s true with just about every surgical procedure, except for abortion.
“We know for a fact that women who have had abortions have not been fully informed about the risks, both surgical and psychological,” Birbari said. “And this bill will give them the information they need to make an informed decision.”
Sharon Breitweiser, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wyoming, an abortion-rights group headquartered in Laramie, said her group intends to rally members to fight Brechtel’s bill.
“We’re stunned that the majority of the House Judiciary Committee ignored the testimony of doctors, lawyers, health care professionals and reproductive rights advocates,” Breitweiser said Friday.
“We believe that it’s not the government’s business,” she said. “The majority of people in this state do not want government intrusion into their personal lives, and the proponents of this bill are the same people who want to outlaw abortion.”
Whatever the motivation behind the abortion legislation, Cohee said it promises to take a lot of time in the House this week.
“The problem with a bill like that is we have, right now, some 50, 60 bills on general file,” Cohee said. “And discussion of a bill like that can consume massive amounts of time. It eliminates the opportunity to hear the bills that have been brought forth in the Legislature by many other people. We can spend time on one bill or we can spend time on consideration of 10 or 12 more.”
As for Breitweiser — what does she mean? “We’re stunned that the majority of the House Judiciary Committee ignored the testimony of doctors, lawyers, health care professionals and reproductive rights advocates.” Is the House Judiciary Committee of the state of Wyoming obligated to believe the testimony of baby murdering thugs — such as abortionists and reproductive rights advocates? I think not. Let’s go through her list of testifiers:
1st of all — doctors. Doctors or abortionists? There is a difference. The primary difference being that doctors actually save lives and abortionists actually dismember and murder children. I think that makes their testimony pretty freaking worthless — don’t you?
2nd lawyers — enough said.
3rd — reproductive rights advocates. In other words, advocates for the abortion industry — killing babies for money. Yeah, great testimonies there woman.
Oh, I almost forgot, the testimony of “health care professionals”. Most likely femi-nazi freaks that work in baby killing mills.
There, I think I’ve pretty much discredited her fine list of testifiers.
Wyoming legislators need to do the right thing and pass this bill. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop the barbaric practice of abortion, but at least it gives the would be murdering mother an opportunity to change her mind.
