Abortions: Lawmaker touts death certificates

NASHVILLE - Tennessee would collect death certificates for aborted
fetuses under a bill introduced in the General Assembly.
Rep. Stacey Campfield said his bill would provide a way to track how
many abortions are performed in Tennessee. The measure would also
likely create public records on which women are having abortions.
"All these people who say they are pro-life - at least we would see
how many lives are being ended out there by abortions," said
Campfield, R-Knoxville.
The measure would give abortion providers 10 days following an
"induced termination of a pregnancy" to file a death certificate with
the state Office of Vital Records.
"Hopefully we'll be able to get a little information out of this,"
Campfield said.
Campfield acknowledged his bill might have a hard time making it
through the Democratic-controlled House. But the Republican-controlled
Senate "will probably pass it," he said.
House Judiciary Chairman Rob Briley, D-Nashville, called Campfield's
proposal "the most preposterous bill I've seen in eight years in the
Legislature."
"I would anticipate that there are some serious legal problems with
trying to issue death certificates to unborn fetuses, whether they be
aborted or not," Briley said.
"It is totally inconsistent with everything the law contemplates as it
relates to anything close to that subject," he said. "It's so far out
there, it's hard for me to comment."
Tennessee law already requires abortions to be reported to the Office
of Vital Records, though the identities of women having abortions are
not included in the reports. Death certificates require identifying
information like Social Security numbers.
The anti-abortion group Tennessee Right to Life has not yet taken a
position on the death certificate bill, said spokeswoman Myra Simons.
"It's a little too early to say whether we will support it," she said,
but added that the organization applauds the sponsors' efforts to
"draw attention to the way abortion is handled in Tennessee.
Officials with Planned Parenthood and the state Department of Health,
which oversees the Office of Vital Records, didn't immediately return
calls seeking reaction.
Campfield said he's not aware of similar proposals being introduced in
other states. Still, he said, it's worth the attempt.
"The life issue is very important, it's always been very important to
me," he said. "And we've really hit a stone wall as far as any sort of
(anti-abortion) legislation moving."
Briley was less charitable about Campfield's proposal.
"It's a huge waste of taxpayer money for us to even be contemplating
it," he said.

The federal government will have a field day if the state of Tennessee----
obviously so full of inbreds these days----tries to demand that embryos be
issued Social Security numbers.

Clearly even the anti-choice groups see how insane this proposal is, and
are gauging just how much credibility they stand to lose.

PP probably thought that when the story was reported to them, it was a
put-on.

Not even the most social conservative Californian would attempt to draft a
bill proposing insanity like this.

me," he said. "And we've really hit a stone wall as far as any sort of

Hmmm....a real lover of the U.S. Constitution, I see. NOT!
Briley was less charitable about Campfield's proposal.

Not to mention being the product of a total lunatic.

Next step: Prolifers demanding that states replace
birth certificates with conception certificates.

And addresses for the arrest warrants to be served later on I'm sure.

Abortions: Lawmaker touts death certificates
They've been talking about that ***** since the mid-1970's. Are they
also going to issue "certificates" for wasted sperm and ova that might
get discharged?
I agree with the comments toward the end, which suggest that it is an
enormous waste of goverment resources to engage in such charades.

"It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the
threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins

But not miscarriages, which shows that this is just another
anti-choice control freak trying to stick his nose into people's
private business.
