The feeding frenzy going on around the country surrounding Abortion Rights - is disturbing and scary.  Groups of well-funded fundamentalists are systematically dismantling the protections afford us under Roe. 
The latest tactic is the "heartbeat" bill.
Now, anti-choice zealots in Kansas are attempting to get a special session of the legislature convened to pass just such a bill.  But what does that mean for us?

The reality of the fetal heartbeat bill is that it is a direct challenge to Roe.  There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  The standard set forth in Roe - is viability. By most standards that is 24 weeks-ish.

Fetal heartbeat can be detected anywhere from 5 weeks on.  Often women doesn't know she's pregnant (especially in an unplanned circumstance) until 8 weeks or later.  You can see the problem, can't you?  Fetal heartbeat bills effectively ban abortion before women often know they are pregnant.  These laws are a blatant end run around our Constitutional rights. 
Between fetal pain, heartbeat and personhood bills - it's a scary time to be a woman in the US.
