Senate passes pro-life measures

Lieutenant Governor's office just issued the following press release:

JACKSON – Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves today thanked the Mississippi Senate for its approval of several pro-life measures to end abortion in Mississippi, protect children from abuse and strengthen adoption laws.

“These are strong, common-sense pro-life bills that will not only end abortion in Mississippi but will enhance efforts to protect children from abuse,” Lt. Gov. Reeves said. “I appreciate the hard work by these senators to shape laws that make Mississippi an even safer place for children.”

The Senate passed:

*House 1390, which requires doctors associated with an abortion facility to have admitting privileges at local hospital and to be board-certified obstetricians/gynecologists. Reeves said measure should effectively close Mississippi’s only abortion clinic.

*The Child Protection Act, House Bill 16, which will require teachers and clergy to report suspected abuses of children to law enforcement. The Child Protection Act is a part of Lt. Gov. Reeves’ legislative agenda.

*House Bill 1268, which improves several provisions that strengthen Mississippi adoption laws.

The measures return to the House for consideration.

I'm rather surprised the AMA doesn't object to requiring board certification and staff privileges for a doctor.

Perhaps, we should require other doctors doing surgical procedures in clinics to be board certified ( which is passing a test) and to have hospital privileges.

Requiring teachers and preacher to report child abuse empowers them to argue more effectively against the higher ups who don't want to get involved, but alas, doesn't protect children. There has never been a "failure to report" case in the nation as there are no penalites for that failure.

Next, the legislature could require that all tort attorneys be on staff at a large law firm and are members of a College to file a lawsuit.

Lots of " let's feel better about ourselves" legislation .

You object to someone QUALIFIED in the gynecological field via board-certification performing an abortion?

Would you let a brain surgeon operate on your heart? Please.

5:36 pm You don't know what board certification is apparently. I expect you go to doctors who aren't board certified. They have , however, completed training in their speciality.

Nor do you know anything medically about the procedure or else you wouldn't make that analogy.

When abortion was illegal, interns and residents did abortions to help pay for medical school and so did other doctors on the sly for their good friends daughters who were " in trouble". Those were the women who didn't die or end up barren. The " back alley" abortionists were mid-wives and foreigners and con artists trying to make a buck off of a woman's fear.

Since two women in my family, whom I loved, died during pregnancy when abortion was illegal and would have save their lives ( the babies died with them. A woman can't always get to a hospital fast enough when things go wrong ),and because I'm a woman, I made it my business to actually be informed on this issue.

I also saw how their deaths adversely affected the children they left behind.


In the 50s and 60s the GOP was in favor of legalizing abortions because it was the conservation point of view. Democrats were opposed because the Catholic and blue collar influence was strong in the party.

For a philosophically consistent conservative, this is a " no brainer". Government should not be involved in personal medical decisions.

I would also suggest that when the Neo-Nazis are on your side on an issue, it should give you pause for concern.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
