Stupid repuke lawmaker of the day: If abortion is legal, cockfighting should be too.

Maybe of the week- though there's still 5 days for this one to be topped. Have I mentioned lately how much I detest these moron asswipes?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — If abortion is legal, cockfighting should be too.

That's the message from one Utah state senator who spoke out against anti-cockfighting legislation Monday.

Sen. Allen Christensen, R-North Ogden, said Monday that cockfighting shouldn't be a felony in Utah because abortion is legal in the state, the Deseret News reported (http://bit.ly/ZiKSLN ).

Christensen criticized the measure, calling cockfighting a natural event. He added, "yet we allow people to go ahead and murder their unborn babies." He said owners raise game fowl for one purpose, and that is to fight.

Both types of cock fighting should be illegal because they are both immoral. Abortion is a medical procedure women are legally able to select and it needs to stay that way. I suppose he doesn't have any problem with dog fighting either. Perhaps Utah should become the bull fighting state so people can cheer while an innocent animal is brutally slaughtered. Maybe he would like to serve as the state's first matador.
