They don’t miss a trick

Via Salon, we have the latest gambit from the anti-abortion zealots:
Mark Gietzen, founder of Kansas Coalition for Life, said the videotaped beheadings of journalists by Islamic terrorists have raised concerns about what he calls the “decapitation” of fetuses during abortions, making an attempt to ban it timely.
No state has ever tried for such a law, he said, but he is working with the American Center for Law and Justice, founded by Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, on language that would make such a bill work in Kansas and in the U.S. Supreme Court.
If the right language can be found, Gietzen said, “I don’t think there’s a judge on earth that’s willing to say, ‘Decapitations are just fine.’ ”
They think they’re being clever. And often they are. We’ll have to see if they can succeed in comparing pregnant women to ISIS, which is essentially what they’re doing. It’s Kansas.
