Missouri Supreme Court deals a blow to secretary of state's ballot language on abortion
The Missouri Supreme Court has turned away an appeal about how to word a ballot question on access to abortion.
Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has proposed asking voters whether they are in favor of allowing “dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth.”
What a dumbass.

So this would allow safe, regulated abortions and also allow dangerous, unregulated abortions after live birth. That's a little extreme for me. I can't support post-birth abortions.
-
I also hate post-birth abortions which is why I don't like people shooting up my kid's school.

^ Found the dumbass who didn't even read the article and has zero understanding of how abortions work.

I think it was a not especially good attempt at a joke.
-
Not even a joke so much as a literal interpretation of the proposed law. It only bans unsafe and unregulated abortions, and only up to the point of live birth. If it became a law with that language, how is that going to be interpreted by the courts? This attempt to inject partisan language cuts any actual meaning from the law. He's trying so hard to manipulate the vote that the resultant law doesn't even do what he wants it to. Irony is the humor here.
