No war on women in our country, think again.

A bill to ban a******n introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to “reimplant an ectopic pregnancy” into a woman’s uterus – a procedure that does not exist in medical science – or face charges of “a******n murder”.
This is the second time practising obstetricians and gynecologists have tried to tell the Ohio legislators that the idea is currently medically impossible.
The move comes amid a wave of increasingly severe anti-a******n bills introduced across much of the country as conservative Republican politicians seek to ban a******n and force a legal showdown on a******n with the supreme court.
Ohio’s move on ectopic pregnancies – where an embryo implants on the mother’s fallopian tube rather than her uterus rendering the pregnancy unviable – is one of the most extreme bills to date.
“I don’t believe I’m typing this again but, that’s impossible,” wrote Ohio obstetrician and gynecologist Dr David Hackney on Twitter. “We’ll all be going to jail,” he said.
An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition, which can k**l a woman if the embryonic tissue grows unchecked.
In addition to ordering doctors to do the impossible or face criminal charges, House Bill 413 bans a******n outright and defines a fertilized egg as an “unborn child”.
It also appears to punish doctors, women and children as young as 13 with “a******n murder” if they “perform or have an a******n”. This crime is punishable by life in prison. Another new crime, “aggravated a******n murder”, is punishable by death, according to the bill.
The bill is sponsored by representatives Candice Keller and Ron Hood, and co-sponsored by 19 members of Ohio’s 99-member House.
These are 21 crackpots who have no business writing law.

Makes perfect sense to me...
Introduce a bill that is so extreme that it forces people to search for a far less radical compromise...
