Not really. They can do it then they'll get sued and a court will cite Roe v. Wade and slap it down. They'll appeal until a circuit court asks "Are you retarded?"

Oh. So it's one of those stupid ass pandering bills that do nothing but waste time and resources. That's cool, I guess. Whatever helps you win votes with people who were probably gonna vote for you anyway. :/

Sort of. It's real in the interim.

The governor hasn't even signed it and it's being threatened in court. If she has any sense she'll just veto it. My governor did it twice with stupid shit like this and I'm not exactly proud of him, more like "Whew, we're lookin better than Mississippi and Indiana. No Onion articles about Georgia this session."

I feel like posting this here. It just seems appropriate for some reason and I don't want to make it its own post.
