Conservativa

Tim Craig of the Washington Post reports a nice catch by Terry Kilgore in a committee meeting yesterday:

‘But after both bills were approved pending a final vote in a few weeks, Del. Terry G. Kilgore (R-Scott) posed a simple question to House Majority Leader H. Morgan Griffith (R-Salem).’

‘”We just made stealing a cat a felony, and we are making someone who forces an abortion guilty of a misdemeanor?” asked Kilgore, wondering if the subcommittee ever compared the bills side by side.’

Nice catch, Del. Kilgore (and Tim Craig). With so many bills being considered every session, legislators have to be alert, or things like this can happen. It should be a crime to steal a cat. It should be a worse crime to coerce a woman into having an abortion.
