Georgia On My Mind

Worldnetdaily is reporting:

Without the blessing of his own party, a Republican Georgia legislator has introduced a bill outlawing nearly all abortions in the state.
Rep. Bobby Franklin put forth the legislation Tuesday despite criticism from fellow Republican members of the state House.
According to a report in the Marietta Daily Journal, Franklin says his bill stand a better chance this year than last because the Democrats no longer control state government.
"If you don't have hope, you don't have any business being up here," he said, responding to criticism that his bill is likely dead in the water.
House members slammed the bill, saying it runs afoul of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
"This is just extreme and irresponsible," Rep. Rob Teilhet, a Democrat, told the paper. "It's flagrantly unconstitutional, and I'm just not sure what the point is."
Teilhet says Georgians "should ask themselves if they want legislators who propose legislation to make a point or if they propose a bill that really is about making life better."
Franklin's legislation prohibits abortion in all cases except when the mother's life is in danger and also makes it a felony for any doctor to perform the procedure.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Franklin introduced a bill in 2003 to require women getting abortions to secure a death warrant from the courts.
