George Pyle: 'Not that any member of the Legislature’s Republican supermajority cares. They are just happy that all the burden of intelligent reproduction has been dumped on women, about whom they show little, if any, concern.'
In this Jan. 31, 2018, photo, shows Provo Republican Sen. Curt Bramble on the Senate floor at the Utah State Capitol, in Salt Lake City.The United States is proud of its traditions of democracy. Open and free elections. Freedom of speech, of the press, of the right to assemble.
Among the worst of those is the requirement that for a person to claim the right under the law to have an abortion when the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest, the attending physician has to confirm that the offense was reported to law enforcement.. It ignores the fact that many, probably most, women don’t report sexual assault out of the very realistic fear that the system won’t listen to them and won’t prosecute the offender.
The senator’s answer showed neither the decency nor the wisdom that should be required to hold public office in a democracy. Abortion is not the “slaughter of innocent unborn children,” and anyone who thinks it is has absolutely zero understanding of biology. But American politicians never developed the parliamentary habit of resigning on principle or as an act of contrition. Especially in a one-party state such as Utah, politicians are too firmly ensconced in their positions to worry about what the people want.
