House GOP Stirs Pot, Passes Absurd Anti-Abortion Bill

For GOP Tea Party use only!

When history has passed its inevitable judgment on the actions of the Tea Party-dominated GOP House, it is possible that its verdict will be, "They stirred the pot." Passing manifestly unconstitutional legislation that will not pass the Senate or survive a presidential veto seems a pretty ineffective way to run the nation, but it doubtless riles the base, which actually is the purpose. And hence the GOP House passed the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act." a bill that not only violates a woman's constitutionally protected right to choose abortion, starting at an absurdly early 20 weeks, but goes so far as to state its demonstrably false premise in the world's most awkward bill name.

Well, what do we expect of the Tea Party, anyway? Tea?
