Governor Christine Gregoire (D) of Washington State signed a bill on Thursday that will allow pregnant women to divorce their husbands. The bill, sponsored by state Representative Mary Lou Dickerson (D-Seattle) and passed unanimously by both the state House and Senate, was prompted by the case of Shawnna Hughes who was denied the right to divorce

so yeah, what's even more absurd is that it turns out the two had been seperated since 2002, when he was convicted of beating her. She then became pregnant with ANOTHER MAN'S CHILD!!! And therefore was forced to stay with her abusive husband... hmm

that's pretty crazy. When i first read it i thought that was what the attourney or whatever said... since they're normally making wild accusations and such i wasn't suprised.

I read it again and realized that it was the Superior Cout JUDGE! Pretty depressing to think someone like that can be a judge that high.

But truthfully, i would like to see the actual court transcript before i get all hissy... half the things i say can be horribly offensive if taken out of context.

Who is this "Women's eNews" anyways?
