It starts with a thought...

Better yet...try to comprehend a Governor who was so afraid of the budget shortfall during his campaign that he would not even guess how much it might be, only to open the legislative session with forecasts that have every school district in the state sweating bullets over how many teachers they will have to cut and how large they will have to make classrooms deciding that making his personal sonogram for abortion contemplating mothers bill sounds like a good idea. Let's see...87,000 abortions give or take a year (though expect that number to increase in 2010 and 2011 due to heightened econmic stress in low income homes) x2 years (we only allocate state money for budgets every two years around these parts) x $300.00 per sonogram = $52,200,000.00. I'm no fan of abortion, but the timing of this bill in light of how effective it will/won't be really underscores just how much of an emergency this bill isn't.
