"The measure that would make it all but impossible to get an abortion in the state now goes to the North Dakota Senate after the state House.
BISMARCK, N.D. -- A measure approved by the North Dakota House gives a fertilized human egg the legal rights of a human being, a step that would essentially ban abortion in the state.
The bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that extended abortion rights nationwide, supporters of the legislation said.
Representatives voted 51-41 to approve the measure Tuesday. It now moves to the North Dakota Senate for its review."

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

So if I stuck a couple of eggs in my freezer in Fargo could I claim them as dependents?

I thought they settled this in "Legally Blonde."

Posted: 2/19/09 at 4:42pmThere is no legitimate freedom of choice in North Dakota as well as most plain states. The right wing has driven most providers out of state. This bill would not even pass rational basis muster.

Posted: 2/19/09 at 4:52pmIf a fertilized egg is human and abortion is muder, then losing the fertilized egg should be considered man slaughter.

Posted: 2/19/09 at 4:58pmThis means that negligently causing a miscarriage could be considered a crime. Make a wrong lane change and you go to jail.

Posted: 2/20/09 at 9:17amThis was part of the platform from the Republican convention. Their goal was to grant 14th Amendment rights to the unborn. That would raise abortion to a capitol offense for both the doctor and anyone who paid for an abortion (murder for hire).
