State Rep. Rob Bacon believes abortion is murder and he wants the Iowa Code to reflect that.

Bacon, R-Slater, and eight other Republicans introduced such a bill in the Iowa House Wednesday. It would alter the definition of a person in murder cases to “an individual human being, without regard to age of development, from the moment of conception, when a zygote is formed, until natural death.”

“It’s to protect the life of the unborn,” Bacon told the Tribune. “There’s still some of us that believe life begins at conception.”

Those charged with murder, under the bill, would include a mother who takes abortion-inducing drugs or a doctor who performs an abortion. It also grants no exceptions for rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.

Democrats still control the Iowa Senate. Not happening.

Hopefully that'll be former State Rep. Rob Bacon by 2014.

Which, of course, would make a good portion of miscarriages "manslaughter".

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Is he really the first nationwide to do this?

I want $100 bills to spotaneously generate inside my bedroom. There's a big difference between wanting and getting.
