Bloggers make a difference again

Virginia delegate John Cosgrove has withdrawn his absurd, misogynistic bill from the Virginia legislature, citing "confusing language." Cosgrove also said that those of us who opposed the bill were engaging in an active campaign of misinformation to get political points across.

I wonder what part of the bill we didn't understand? The part that makes a grieving woman a criminal if she doesn't hurry up and call the police? The part about the police needing to know whether the mother is married to the father of the fetus? I'm sorry, John: Obviously, those ridiculous requirements have another secret meaning that only right-wing knuckle-scraping males can understand.
