I'll take that under consideration. I call my daughter's hamster, 'Sidder'. She thinks I am calling him, 'sitter' and gets upset with me for not calling him the name she gave him, which is 'Snow'. But I need to give him a nick name for times like this. 'Sidder' is short for consideration. ... Are you attempting to play me? If so, I'll consider that post as having been put on notice.

VA Legislative Sentry: Have a Miscarriage, Go to JAIL? by Maura in VA Thu Jan 6th, 2005 at 16:44:34 PST Imagine the following scenario. You are at home alone at 8:00 on a Friday night. You are 8 weeks pregnant. All of a sudden, you begin to experience heavy cramping and bleeding. You realize with shock and sadness that you are probably experiencing a miscarriage. You are overwhelmed with grief and surprised by the intensity of physical pain involved. When your partner comes home, you break the sad news to him. Over the next few hours, you suffer pain, cramping, and intermittent bleeding. Exhausted, you finally fall asleep in your partner's arms around 4 AM. You sleep until noon. Guess what? You just earned yourself up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. Why? Because you failed to call the cops and report your miscarriage within 12 hours. True? Not yet. But if Delegate John Cosgrove (R-78) has his way, HB1677 will become law in a few short months, and this scenario will be reality for many women in Virginia. Incredulous? Outraged?
