GA State Representative Robert Franklin is proposing a law that would force women who miscarry to prove that it happened naturally or face felony charges. This is just one more aspect of the attack on women that the GOP seem to be launching this year in their attempts to trick the nation into forgetting that abortions are legal, and by far this is the lowest of the low blows. Women who have suffered a miscarriage are in a very emotionally distraught state, and then to force them to go over all the details and prove that there was no outside involvement causing it seems particularly cruel. There is an outcry by pro-choice and women's rights activists as well as by several conservatives who think that this is just too much.

Also keep in mind that this is the same guy that proposed that GA citizens pay their state taxes in silver or gold.

I think this is sick, just plain sick, and that he needs to be removed from office immediately. Also, shame on the bumbling morons that elected him!

What kind of person would really try to pursue a law for this sort of thing? Makes me wonder what exactly this man strives to achieve if this was ever passed. Seeing the list of bills this lunatic has proposed leads me to assume hes trying to lead this country into using a modernized feudal system. This man needs to learn to move with the times.

My mother had a miscarriage when I was eleven and it was one of the most difficult and emotionally taxing things we have had to go through as a family. I have no words to express my anger and disgust.

I watched my wife have a miscarriage.... I sat in the hospital with her while she lost our first child.

I seriously hope this gets completely ignored as legitimate legislation. This is a pretty ignorant idea.

Most miscarriages that happen naturally happen in the first trimester where abortions are legal anyway.... anything after that is usually the cause of trauma of some sort or intentional doctor induced abortion for medical reasons.

[sigh] This frustrates me.
