Republican Georgia state Rep. Terry England says that his experience
with cows, pigs and chickens has proven to him that women should be
forced to have their babies after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
In a debate over Georgia House Bill 954,
which would ban abortions after 20 weeks even if the baby is not
expected to live, England recalled the time he had spent with livestock.
“Life gives us many experiences,” he explained. “I’ve had the
experience of delivering calves, dead and alive — delivering pigs, dead
and alive. … It breaks our hearts to see those animals not make it.”
England
continued: “You know a few years ago, I had a man come to me in our
store, it was when we were debating, talking about dog and hog hunting, I
believe, and at that point there was some language inserted in there
that dealt with chicken fighting. And the young man called me to the
side and he said, ‘I want to tell you one thing.’ And y’all, this is
salt of the Earth people I’m talking about, someone I would have never
in a hundred years expected to tell me what he told me that day.” READ MORE

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two veteran House Republicans received discounted mortgage loans from the now-defunct Countrywide Financial Corp. under a VIP program, a congressional official said Friday.
The discounts went to Reps. Howard McKeon and Elton Gallegly
of California, said the official, who was not authorized to speak
publicly about the loans and requested anonymity. Their identities were
first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee
has been investigating whether members of Congress received VIP
discounts. The Associated Press reported previously that four House
members had received the discounts. One of the four remains unidentified
publicly. READ MORE
