Oh, those Repukes really know how to pass laws
?cache=yh7izjzmu1
Lawmakers in New Hampshire scrambled to close a legal loophole on Thursday after passing a piece of legislation that, on paper, may have allowed pregnant women to commit murder without any repercussions
....
The politicians had noticed the odd wording more than a week after the bill initially passed (Republican lead) , and raised objections that a line reading “any act committed by the pregnant woman” or their doctors would possibly be legal, even “in cases of second-degree murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide, or causing or aiding suicide.”
