Science be damned, fantasy works for us
The state of Arizona, lately becoming prominent as the Land of Sun Baked Brains, has taken another step to cement its reputation as the Home of The Great Stupid.
Like something straight out of TheOnion.com, Arizona recently passed a new law titled the Women’s Health and Safety Act that deems a woman pregnant 2 weeks before conception. Only this is not fiction, it’s Arizona...Three cheers for the fertile women of Arizona. They can now get pregnant two weeks before they even think of it. And some people call the bill's author an extremist.
Steinberg explained the law by saying, “The law defines pregnancy in a way that bans abortion two weeks before the other seven states who have similar laws. It calculates gestational age starting with the first day of the last menstrual period rather than the date of conception.”
