I don't know if this is progress or not.

It's the infamous Utah Illegal Miscarriage bill, new news on the local news sites

A bill that captured national headlines for potentially putting mothers who miscarry at risk of being investigated for criminal homicide will be replaced.

Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, said Thursday he plans to introduce new legislation to refine his bill, which was drafted in response to a case in Vernal where a teen paid a friend to beat her in an attempt to force a miscarriage.

Wimmer said his bill still would apply to cases like the eastern Utah one. But he is removing language that could subject a mother who miscarries because of reckless behavior to prosecution for criminal homicide.

For example, some suggested that an avid runner who miscarries could end up in prison for life.

"I don't want the false-rumors information that are going around this bill to detract from an otherwise very, very good piece of legislation," Wimmer said.

Both the House and Senate have passed Wimmer's original bill, and the Herriman lawmaker, who has met several times with Gov. Gary Herbert or his chief of staff to discuss it, said he is confident the governor would have signed it.

But his new legislation, without the reckless-behavior provision, would quickly supplant that bill.

"I don't want the controversy to follow Governor Herbert," Wimmer said, adding that his intent by including reckless behavior was to target mothers who use illegal drugs and cause a miscarriage.

So Hooray! for the thing being changed, but Boo! for Wimmer (yes, he is a twit) only changing it because it's being mis-represented.

I wish I could put it on Facebook, but I'm blocked for another hour and a half.

And I have no sympathy for str8 people who go to gay/les bars, and then get het up about about people hitting on them.

I continue to be het up about the fact that I've never been hit on by a woman at a gay bar! How can they all tell???

"het up"

Hee.

It's still a pretty crappy piece of legislation IMO. Just slightly less criminally insane.

Oh, ha, preferential voting. Wonder how fast I can skim through this.

The absence of a Subaru in your life?

A decade ago when I was clubbing more, I took my hockey player friend and his girlfriend out to a couple of gay nightclubs. Hilariously, he fit in better than I did, and people thought I was the straight one. He was only awkward when asking me to watch out for him during a restroom visit, which was SO a case of having the fox guard the chicken coop.

I was very rarely hit on by men at gay bars.

Though once I was hanging out with a gay friend at a gay bar in Appleton, WI. After I left, a man went and talked to my friend. Turns out this man was too intimidated by me to talk to my friend while I was there. (I was wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and black leather baseball cap.)

That still cracks me up. Me? Intimidating? (I was pretty skinny back then.)

"het up"

Hee.

I know, right?

Now I'm watching Friends instead of reading Bureau2 -- a much better choice for living in the past. What I should really be doing is grocery shopping, before I get more hungry.
