So, am I losing it? Or do the quotes in this article strike anyone else as hysterically funny?
Y'see, Australia has just legalised RU-486 the human pesticide.
Here's the reaction from some of the ladies in the government:
"Pregnancy is not safe. A whole lot of things about women's reproductive health are very dangerous, in fact."
"The death rate from this particular drug is much less, for example, than (from) Viagra," she said.
Tearful Liberal senator Judith Troeth hailed the result as "a victory for common sense ... for the nation's daughters and granddaughters".
OK, err...what daughters and granddaughters? The ones you aborted or the ones who died taking the drug?

The illogical arguments proclaimed in this debate have had me hopping mad and frustrated for a while now.
But that... is hilarious.
not a good result, and the legislators' rhetoric was pathetic
but one minor point - RU486 has not been legalised
formerly, the Minister for Health decided whether to allow the sale of the drug
under the new law, this decision will be made by bureaucratic/ medical "experts" (the Therapeutic Goods Authority)
