Mississippi trying to ban abortion for women who have embryos with detectable heartbeats
JACKSON, Miss. — Supporters of a bill that has passed in the Mississippi House and gone to the Senate say it would effectively ban abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
A key provision would require doctors to search for a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion and, if a heartbeat is found, would make going ahead with the procedure illegal. Physicians say a heartbeat can typically be detected at five to six weeks of pregnancy, with the possibility of hearing it earlier if the doctor uses a medically invasive transvaginal ultrasound.
House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, says the bill would ban 90 percent of the abortions in the state because most women seek abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detectable.
Want to know why most women seek abortion after the heartbeat is detectable? BECAUSE THE PREGNANCY ITSELF ISN’T EVEN DETECTABLE UNTIL ABOUT 5 WEEKS IN. “6 weeks pregnant” = 6 weeks since last period = actually only 4 weeks since ovulation and conception. Amount of weeks between periods for women on average = 4. How many weeks late a woman typically is by the time she even notices that she’s late = 1. This would leave exactly… maybe just a few days for the woman to go from learning shes pregnant to actually having the abortion. Days. In most clinics, you can’t just walk in and get an abortion on the spot. You have to set up an appointment for a time the clinic can do it. Most clinics don’t even preform abortions more than 2 days of the week. And did I mention that THERE IS ALMOST NOTHING TO SEE ON AN ULTRASOUND AT 5 WEEKS. I mean, just look:
That weird fleshy butterfly-shaped spinal column thing is the “baby” which is the size of a mustard seed. Technology is good enough now that it can detect the heartbeat of an embryo the size of a mustard seed. The very time it takes from learning you are pregnant to deciding that you definitely want an abortion to finding an open clinic to getting finances set up to actually getting to the appointment is the difference between a detectable heartbeat or not. This is making abortion illegal without technically making abortion illegal.
What this bill will really do if it passes the senate: overburden clinics on the outskirts of Mississippi.
Dear Mississippi House:

Rush Limbaugh: Sandra Fluke, Woman Denied Right To Speak At Contraception Hearing, A 'Slut'
“Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud…you would be?” he said. “Your daughter … testifies she’s having so much sex she can’t afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope.”

Hmm… I wonder if I have enough rage-gifs to post that would properly express my rage.
Let’s see here…
NEWSFLASH LIMBAUGH: A woman could have sex with 19 different people a day or her husband twice a week and either way, SHE WOULD NEED THE SAME AMOUNT OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. Believe it or not, birth control pills don’t become less effective the more you have sex. You take one a day and you won’t get pregnant. It’s not like “Oh, you have how much sex? Well we are gunna need to quadruple you birth control prescription, young lady!” IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. YOU MORE OR LESS HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK AUTHORITATIVELY ABOUT ANYTHING, LET ALONE ESTROGEN AND PROGESTIN AND THEIR EFFECTS ON OVULATION. 100 partners or 1 partner = one pack a month. Prostitute or monogamous relationship = one pack a month. Always. All the time. Always.
So Limbaugh, you should probably:
