There's Something About Arizona

The Arizona Senate has passed a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.  The problem here is in how they define the beginning of pregnancy: “age of the unborn child as calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period of the pregnant woman.”  Are they assuming a miraculous pregnancy?  Or do they just want to cut the period to 18 weeks?

Then you have Mr. Arpaio, who calls himself "America's toughest sheriff".  He's fixated on Obama's birth.  A federal grand jury is investigating whether he used his office to intimidate political opponents and whether he misappropriated government money.  The Department of Justice believes that he is illegally detaining Hispanics and mistreating them in jail.

How much money, time and effort is being wasted on these issues?  I'm glad I'm not an Arizona taxpayer.
