On Wednesday, Faux-Comedienne And Professionally Angry Person Samantha Bee, an ardent champion of abortion, freaked out when discussing a recently-passed Georgia law restricting abortion that only needs the signature of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to become law, ranting, “Treating a fertilized egg as a full, legal person, is an exercise in madness.”
The Georgia law, H.B. 481, the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, also known as the “heartbeat bill,” states that the “full value of a child begins when a heartbeat exists”; requires “physicians performing abortions to determine the existence of a detectable human heartbeat before performing an abortion,” adds “it shall be the policy of the State of Georgia to recognize unborn children as natural persons,” and asserts “unless otherwise provided by law, any natural person, including an unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat, shall be included in population based determinations.”
The bill defines a detectable human heartbeat as “embryonic or fetal cardiac activity or the steady and repetitive rhythmic contraction of the heart within the gestational sac.”
After taking time to mock the new pro-life movie “Unplanned,” Bee ranted, “Make no mistake; this law will hurt women … It’s the most pointlessly conservative thing Georgia has done since censoring their peaches.”
Commenting on the bill’s stipulation that “an unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat, shall be included in population based determinations,” and that parents of unborn children can claim the unborn child as a tax exemption, Bee said, “If you don’t have compassion for women, have compassion for accountants; they’re now going to have to tape your pregnancy test to your tax returns. Treating a fertilized egg as a full, legal person, is an exercise in madness. If a zygote is a dependent, then wouldn’t miscarriage be both manslaughter and tax fraud? Could a fertility clinic get its own congressman? Would rear window decals now have to include embryos? I would find that very confusing since two of my children are Lima beans.”
Roe, on the verge of panic, offered what might be frightening news for her but welcome news to the unborn children who will be conceived:
Before 2019 only two states had the balls to sign six-week abortion bans into law: North Dakota in 2013 and Iowa in 2018. But already this year, Mississippi and Kentucky have passed six-week bans with Missouri, Tennessee and Ohio all working on their own their own versions. Lawmakers in all these states are feverishly stroking out bills in the hope that they will bust all the way into the Supreme Court and they’ll be the one of planting the seed of overturning Roe v. Wade.
After playing some clips of various legislators stating that they hoped to overturn Roe, Bee decided to mock them for their looks with a typically vulgar comment: “Amazing how guys who want to regulate our snatches always look like they’ve never been within ten feet of one.”
She concluded, “In the very near future one of these new laws is going to make it in front of the Supreme Court and conservative justices like Brett Kavanaugh may decide that they are going to wait and see if they actually hurt women. The majority of Americans favor access to legal and safe abortion; we have to keep fighting for that.”
