Mating America's Girls Again

Good Christian folk will be righteously indignant that at least two states have shown the white feather in America's continuing crusade for motherhood against ungodly sluttishness. Idaho's supreme court has stayed a bill modelled after the Texas law which permits lawsuits against doctors who perform abortions and conscripts citizens as bounty-hunters in the war on straying females. Displaying a distinctly non-Republican level of foresight, the Idaho state governor had previously expressed misgivings that similar laws might one day be used against gun owners, god-botherers and other followers of the American Way. Meanwhile, the governor of Kentucky has overruled the Trumpster-league state legislature, whose bill would criminalise abortions after fifteen weeks regardless of the circumstances whereby the blastula Americana was implanted in the incubator. A Greater Orange Party spokesbeing fulminated against the governor's "ideological war on the conservative values held by Kentuckians," among which rape, incest and victim-blaming are apparently prominent.
