The Involuntary Breeders Act of 2005

"There is more than one kind of freedom .... Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it." The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, Chap. 5

"The House passed a bill on Wednesday making it a federal crime for any adult to transport an under-age girl across state lines to have an abortion without the consent of her parents." New York Times, 28 April 2005

"Blessed be the fruit." The Handmaid's Tale, Chap. 4

"...under this legislation, those who feel they cannot turn to their parents when facing an unintended pregnancy will be forced to fend for themselves without any help from a responsible adult. Some will seek unsafe abortions close to home. Others will travel to unfamiliar places seeking abortions by themselves." Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), 27 April 2005

One guess on how our supposedly pro-choice Madame Virginia Foxx voted on this atrocious law.
