Abortion? Never mind.
A trio of conservative Utah legislators are backtracking on a vow to introduce legislation to ban abortion. Reps. Carl Wimmer, Ken Sumision and Stephen Sandstrom called a press conference shortly before November's election to announce they would sponsor bills that would ultimately topple Roe v. Wade.

When asked about the timing of the abortion-figthing announcement, Sandstrom, R-Orem, said:
This has nothing to do with re-election. . . . It is reprehensible that anyone would even suggest that protecting unborn life is a political gimmick.
The election is over and the trio re-elected. Now, Wimmer, above, explains that while they won't sponsor the legislation—they will never let their cause die and will accept contributions to an anti-abortion legal fund.

The time is just not right for this fight. It will probably be right around October 2010 (right before the next election).

1 - Trio is (not are)- basic grade school grammar.

2 - Outlawing abortion. Law would be made by excruciatingly right-wing Mormon Republican (Nazi) males who believe they have the right to control what a woman and her doctor believe is best for her.

But, hey, excruciatingly right-wing Mormon Republican (Nazi) males believe they have the right to control everyone. And everything. After-all, they have the priesthood. You know, the god-given right to crap on women and everyone and everything.

I wish I had that power. God, that would be super. Like the Mormon legislature that loves to dump on everyone who doesn't buy the Mormon B.S.

Oh, the power! The priesthood! The dumping!
