Whereas the scientific community has recognized the introduction of ultrasounds to be paramount in the definition of life,

Whereas in Dixie abortions go readily unregulated,

Whereas many Christian beliefs hold abortions to be murder,

Whereas Dismemberment Abortions are barbaric and shouldn’t be tolerated by an advanced society,

The Assembly of Dixie enacts as follows:
