Update on an Attempted Miscarriage of Justice

Claiming he was simply "misunderstood," Virginia Delegate John Cosgrove (Taliban R-Chesapeake) has withdrawn the proposed bill that would make it a crime for a woman to elect not to report a miscarriage to police within 12 hours of the event. Claiming that HB 1677 was proposed in response to a rash of cases in the Chesapeake area of mothers taking their babies to full term, then abandoning them and claiming they were stillborn, Cosgrove accused opponents of his legislative effort of "engaging in an active campaign of 'misinformation' to get their political point across."

What I want to know is what is a troglodyte like that doing in a penny-ante State Legislature? With ideas like his, he should be standing tall alongside stalwarts like Bill Frist, Dennis Hastert and Rick Santorum.
