Women's Health Protection Act of 2013

[Cataclysm]

The bill would prohibit states from passing so-called Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) laws, which impose strict and cost-prohibitive building standards on abortion clinics, require women seeking abortions to have ultrasounds, and create other barriers to abortion access.

...

"In states like Texas and Wisconsin, legislatures are passing bills with the false pretext of protecting health when their only objective is to obstruct and curtail access to safe and legal abortions and reproductive services. These laws are largely unconstitutional, and some measure of certainty and clarity is required to preempt these regulations and laws so women are not deterred in their very personal decisions based on their own values on how they want to use their constitutional rights," Blumenthal said. "The Women’s Health Protection Act will provide a clear and certain response to these regulations and laws that impose unnecessary tests, procedures and restrictions — including requirements for physical layout in clinics — on reproductive services."

Yeah good luck getting that through the house.

While it might pass Senate, Id says it won't pass House.

Even tough it will be an inevitability, I'll still be very angry when this bill is killed.

Some people have this idea that you can only express anger or outrage when it's something unexpected.

I don't get that.  I'll be angry at predictable events all I want thank you very much.

Hell, its the predictable shit that gets me the most!  Give me a pleasant surprise once in a while, you miserable fucks.

Of course, I would mention how happy I am to finally see some spine in the Democratic party, to attempt to form a bill that would eliminate all this natalist bullshit. Something that not only overturns these laws, but make any more new laws against sexual freedom illegal.

And that won't happen, because the House is dominated by these "go back to the kitchen" Tea-party shitholes.

Hopefully we can kick out a bunch of House Republicans in the midterm elections so things like this can get passed. After the government shutdown most Americans blamed the GOP, but anti-Obamacare sentiment is apparently quite potent and exploitable at the moment, so I'm not sure which party currently has the upper hand.
