Arizona passes law that states 'Pregnancy starts two weeks before conception'

[karadinart]

You think only Time Lords would have this problem.

In Arizona, women are now legally pregnant two weeks before conception, according to a new law, the Orwellianly-named, “Women’s Health and Safety Act,” signed yesterday by Republican Governor Jan Brewer. The scientifically, medically, ethically, and intellectually dishonest legislation is designed to reduce the amount of time a woman is allowed to have a legal abortion, and is one of the most draconian bills to become law in America.

They can't get rid of legal abortions, but they'll do their damnest to block access.

The mindfuckery of this is boggling. And of course, this is where my family now lives. *SHAKES HEAD*

And we had abortion rights under challenge here in Canada as well, with a member of Parliment trying to redefine life pretty much along these lines, though not so batshit visibly insane.
