Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders quietly signed into law on Thursday a bill that will create a “monument to the unborn” on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol.

Sanders’ team confirmed the bill signing in a release late Friday.

Not withstanding that the gesture is lame and counterproductive to real policy (whether you think the policies this supplements / replaces is great or horrible does not matter to its inherently lame nature) — I am more just a tad put off by the “cover of dark” nature of her signing it. It needs confirmation that she did a signing. And no, I do not know exactly how I would approach the matter of a bill you want to go ahead and support but do not wish to be the figure behind — or have a file photo of the signing. It becomes comical here that we get this instead —

The deed is done. Get a photo out there of you signing the damned bill. Any and all bill signings need at least a photograph.

In other Abortion related news — this is a biased and loaded headline.

Wyoming, the first territory in the United States to grant women the right to vote, just became the first state to ban medication abortion

It presumes a break, which I understand why some see a connection but I also understand why others do not necessarily see it and it becomes loaded against them. Hell, you can stay with a feminist framework in explaining part one — it was a “Mars Needs Women” situation — whatever it took to get women out to Wyoming. And, really, only a handful were needed. Under that rubric, are we to get the storyline that these grizzled men became regressively more unenlightened over the generations?
