Tenn Senate Bill 334SB 334
March 19, 2005
SUMMARY OF BILL: Redefines person to mean a live human being withlife beginning when the ovum is fertilized by the male sperm;--------------------
MALE SPERM!? Do the idiots mean there are two types, male and female sperm? But you are not a person if the ovum was fertilized with female sperm? I wonder if they think there is male ovum? I wonder if they think...
Nope, they don't think. That's the problem. I suppose that since the sperm carries the genetic material for a male or female, maybe we can take this to read that a human life is one that IS a male.
Who knows what they meant. But I will tell you one thing, it doesn't really matter what they meant, I know what they are going to do with the bill.
They will take it and use pregnancy as a reason to add charges to people who assault a pregnant woman. It's kind of like hate crimes...they are looking for improved ways to assure as many charges as possible with each encounter/arrest. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but that's what they will do. I think that if a crime is commited, we should punish the CRIME, not every possible motive that a person considers. If they would simply uphold the laws that we have, the courts wouldn't be muddied with so many stupid things.
But, for some reason they don't like to do that. I guess they wait until enough epople figure out way around the old laws so they have to tweak them a bit so that more people have records. There was a time when the judicial system tried to do their best to minmize a person's record so that they would have a better chance at a decent life. Now, a kid can get a record if he gets into a fight at school. You give enough people records and some of them start getting angry at the system that they can't seem to live in and then crime just increases.
As if that isn't bad enough, try living in Cobb County Georgia. This is about the most angry sytem you have ever seen. A friend who is dying of cancer was arrested on a 25 year old charge and kept in the infirmary. I don't know why, they didn't do anthing for him, they just kept him there without any of his pain medicine. Talk about cruel and unusual. Ohio had to extradite him so that he could be sent home on house arrest and still be able to continue his cancer treatment. The state that originally WANTED him was discusted at the treatment this man recieved in Cobb County Jail. If a dying man can't get pain medicine, who can?
I suppose some people might be afraid that this law could affect abortions. It won't. The government doesn't care about abortions. This won't affect the constitutional right to get one...there are too many powerful people that won't let that happen. Someone may try, but in the end, it won't happen. They don't want to have to convict doctors.

You are wrong. It is an anti-abortion bill.
