While we were distracted Arizona Governor Jan Brewer does it again

David Schwartz of Reuters has alerted us to something that sticks to high heaven in his article titled Arizona enacts ban on abortions based on gender, race.  It reports that “Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Tuesday signed into law a controversial bill that makes the state the first in the nation to outlaw abortions performed on the basis of the race or gender of the fetus.  Under the new Arizona statute, doctors and other medical professionals would face felony charges if they could be shown to have performed abortions for the purposes of helping parents select their offspring on the basis of gender or race.”  If truth be told, I think that any parent who wishes to abort because the child is not the race or gender that they want should be held responsible for that ignorant decision but not by man.  She will be held responsible for that decision by a much higher and more just power than any which could be found in the state or federal government.

I say Governor Brewer has done it again because she spoke about a small government that stayed out of people’s private lives and railed so much on the intrusion of Obamacare which she said would put the government between a person and their doctor.  Can someone please explain to me how what she has accomplished is any different?  The article reported that a spokesman said "Governor Brewer believes society has a responsibility to protect its most vulnerable -- the unborn -- and this legislation is consistent with her strong pro-life track record," but my question to that spokesman would have been would not the poorest and those facing certain death from the lack of an organ transport be considered “most vulnerable?”  Just a thought I could be wrong.
