Fetuses In Charge!

In one of the more outrageous, unfair, unscientific and altogether idiotic actions in recent memory, Ohio State Rep. Sarah LaTourette (R-Bainbridge Twp.) has introduced HB 135, which would legally prohibit abortions of any fetus with a prenatal Downs Syndrome diagnosis.

Seriously, what the fuck?  It was not that long ago that medical science developed the prenatal testing techniques that allowed parents-to-be, for the first time ever, to know of birth defects in advance.  Now Ms. LaTourette would like to make such testing and knowledge a moot point.  Her bill would force women to carry and give birth to known Downs babies, no matter what.  The wishes of the mother and her partner would count for nothing.  

She wants us to believe that her HB 135 is intended to reduce "discrimination."  Discrimination against who?  An embryonic bit of protoplasm with a genetic kink, or the living, breathing, sentient human being carrying said embryo?

Whenever you give legal rights to eggs, sperm, and little bits of fertilized whatever, you are simultaneously taking away rights from actual people.  Fetuses are in charge.

It's not just misguided, it's insane.  HB 135 has no chance, but this is how conserva-bots like LaTourette occupy themselves and waste our time.
