Today
the Texas House of Representatives kick started what is sure to be a heated and
contentious battle over the Second Amendment rights of unborn persons. Assemblyman
Jeff Richards (R) brought before the state assembly a bill which would formally
protect “unborn person” with the right to bear arms. Assemblyman Richards says
the developmental lack of an appendage with which to bear a deadly weapon is no
reason not to push for this bill. Democrats in the assembly aware that it's an
election year are attempting to amend the bill with requirements for a one
trimester waiting period, and for the mother to register as having a concealed
weapon.

Some
more conservative members of the legislature have argued that any attempt to
impose a waiting period on an unborn person is an unnecessary and potentially
dangerous provision which infringes on the liberties of the unborn person.
Eight term assemblyman Michael Butler (R) said quote “We have to arm our
fetuses, the womb we all know is a dangerous place, and it’s the first battle
ground. An unborn person can expect to daily defend themselves against
parasitic twins, Mozart, and their mother’s immune system.”

Similar
stories from state houses all around the country have been inciting a fury of
considerable female backlash. Women's groups protesting outside of state houses across the nation are infuriated that they would be legally required to carry a deadly weapon inside of them. Since the redefinition of fetuses by these states
as unborn persons legislatures have had their hands full codifying their
constitutional rights to own weapons, and not gay marry. The courts too have
been hard at work setting new precedents. Only two weeks ago the now landmark
case of (unborn person John Doe v. State)
the 25 week old boy (whose name has yet to be released to the press by his mother) was found
guilty for murder of his would be twin at a trial held just after his mother’s
second sonogram. He’s been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences, as is
his mother who is considered an accessory to the crime.
