Georgia Lawmaker Responds To 'Heartbeat' Abortion Ban With The Ultimate Trolling Countermeasure

Make us preferred on Google

If HB 481 becomes a law, it will ban abortions for expectant mothers in their sixth week of pregnancy, a benchmark at which most women don't even realize they are pregnant.


GOOD reported that Georgia's "heartbeat bill" moved through the Senate after Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan appointed Senator William Ligon (R-Brunswick) to the committee to ensure its passage.

The heartbeat bill – sponsored by Acworth Republican state Rep. Ed Setzler – states that the detection of an embryo's heartbeat should have jurisdiction over a fetus's "viability outside of the womb."

Many spoke out against the bill, but no response was more unforgiving than Georgia's Democratic Representative Dar'shun Kendrick.

She gave a bold countermeasure that has conservative lawmakers turning their knees inward.

Kendrick's bulleted list of objectives included banning vasectomies in Georgia and requiring husbands to get consent from their wives for Viagra prescriptions.


Kendrick also suggested that having sex without a condom should be considered as "aggravated assault."

The 36-year-old Democrat told Rolling Stone that her intention was to raise awareness on fair legislation.

"If you're going to legislate our bodies, then we have every right to propose legislation to regulate yours."

While the some aspects of Kendrick's testicular bill were reactionary to make a point, she offered other viable proposals that the state should seriously consider.


Twitter sided with Kendrick's countermeasure.




The bill would also allow parents to claim an embryo with a pulse as a dependent on their taxes and can count the fetus towards the state's population.

Currently, the state bans abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The Center for Reproductive Rights called the heartbeat bill, "blatantly unconstitutional" and clarified the title as a misnomer.

The bill passed earlier this month with a 93-73 vote. Those in favor included 80 men and one person of color, according to Atlanta Magazine.

It is on its way to the Georgia State Senate where it is expected to reach Governor Brian Kemp's desk.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
