In case
you missed it, I was on Fox2 News this week discussing my driver's license
bill that is on the road to passage in the House. If this passes, it
will save the state money and define some legitimate standards.

We
passed our big Pro-Life bill onto the Senate this week. You can read
about it here:
The
Special Standing Committee on Children and Families signed off on House
Bill 1327 last month and, today, the full House voted 113-37 in favor of
the legislation.
The
measure requires abortion businesses, orally and in writing, to provide
women information 24 hours before an abortion on the development of the
unborn child, and long-term medical and mental health problems women can
expect from the abortion.
The
measure also allows women to find out about abortion alternatives and to
see an ultrasound of the unborn child, according to a Missouri Statehouse
Examiner report.
HB 1327 also makes it unlawful for a woman's family, friends, workplace or school
to coerce her into having an abortion and to require abortion centers to
place posters in their waiting rooms informing women they have the right
to not have an abortion.

debate took place for approximately two hours as hundreds of people came

But Rep.
Cynthia Davis, a Republican, said not all women support abortion and
oppose the bill.
"Abortion
is a kind of domestic violence as well," she said. "Women don't naturally
want to kill their offspring. Women who are loved, cared for and supported
don't mind having their own child."
The Senate bill "creates a two-tiered system of enforcement
based on how frequently an abortion clinic does abortions," Fichter
explained then.
"Abortion

Happy
Resurrection Day!
Have a
blessed Easter this weekend. Despite whatever happens to the
economy, our national security or our freedoms, Easter is proof that
miracles happen and God gets the final word.
A Little
Bit of Humor . . .
A
man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the
Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to
avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of
his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place.
Candy, too.
The
driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to
the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the Bunny
carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful Bunny was
dead.
The
driver felt guilty and began to cry. A woman driving down the same
highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She
stepped out of her car and asked the man what was
wrong.
"I
feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and
killed it. What should I do?"
The
woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do.
She
went
to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp,
dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little
furry animal.
Miraculously
the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs
and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50
yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on
down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another
50 yards and waved again!!!!
The
man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven's
name
is
in your spray can?" The woman turned the can around so that the
man
could
read the label. It said:
"Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent
wave."
