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

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.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.
