Which Came First: Chicken or the Eggs?

(OKLAHOMA CITY) Oklahoma Democrat Rep. Rebecca Hamilton (HD 89) is at it again and she should be watched as closely as we watch the machinations of GOPer Rep. Sally Kern (HD 84). Hamilton refers to females who have passed the age of consent as "girls" and Kern gets the cart before the horse by thinking adults who can easily marry should divorce with difficulty.

Case in point is this very good editorial from the Tulsa World linked below that rightfully points out the hypocrisy of Hamilton's viewpoint that women, or "girls" as she's quoted saying, should not be allowed to sell their eggs for human fertility clinics. These "girls" can donate for absolutely no "valuable consideration" their eggs and at the same time Hamilton has failed to consider the other half of her privacy restricting equation in that no mention is made of men (or "boys" to use her odd parlance) who donate sperm to fertility clinics.

This points out her dedicated hatred and diminution of women who want to make private decisions concerning the use of their own bodies for peaceful, humane purposes.

The bill is question is HB3077. You can read all the bill's background at this link:
