State Legislature to Debate 2nd Amendment Rights of Unborn Persons

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.

Neglect later

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.”

You can have my gun, when you pry it from my cold unborn fingers

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.
