In the latest edition of "Repealing the 20th century," Georgia is one step closer to limiting amount of the time women can have an elective abortion.
In HB 954, the so-called "fetal pain" bill, passed through the state House on Wednesday in a 102-65 vote, and now heads to the Republican-controlled Senate. Currently, abortions can be done in Georgia in the last three months of pregnancy to protect the life and or health of the mother. The proposed measure would ban abortions after 20 weeks, instead of the state's current 24 week rule. And the bill would not allow for abortions sought to protect a mother's mental health.
The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Doug McKillip, argues "substantial evidence that, by 20 weeks after fertilization, unborn children seek to evade certain stimuli in a manner which in an infant or adult would be interpreted as a response to pain."
Many doctors and medical experts dispute that claim. Opponents say the bill meddles too much in medical decisions and would force women to carry stillborn or badly damaged fetuses to term.

I wonder how many of these legislators support the death penalty for convicts or the wars in Iraq and Afganistan? Be interesting to find out their take on killing.
Let's see...innocent fetus or a murderer? Oh, I can clearly see the glaring hypocrisy of wanting to protect one life over the other when given those choices!
I'm trying to put my finger on the word that fits for these weirdo's:
Oh yeah- Neanderthals...
Should be legal up to 35 weeks.
What Rep. Neal and all these so-called women's rights supporters are omitting to tell the public is the DIRTY SECRET!! THERE IS HUGE $$$$ in the harvesting of fetal parts after 20 weeks!! In fact Atlanta having access to an international airport is a HUB for most of the baby parts used in research for the entire world!
Abortion clnics like the unlicensed Atlanta Surgi Center on Piedmont RD. run by the notorious Dr. Tryone Malloy gladly give young moms student discounts knowing FULL well that the few $$$ he offers them as discounts will be made up many times over by HARVESTING their PREBORN child's body parts! This is not about giving women a choice, all one has to do is step inside a late term abortion clinic in the ATL area and you will find the VAST majority are there with COMPLETLY HEALTHY babies.
Stop spreading the lies and address where the real push is coming from. FOLLOW THE MONEY@!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$
