Imagine, if you can, being strapped into a wooden contraption designed to send powerful electrical currents through your body, causing your veins to explode, your organs to melt and your feeble, broken frame to seize and shake uncontrollably … and then you die, your head still smoking from the electrodes hooked to the bald spot shaved into it, your limbs still trembling, mouth still frothing, the stench of burnt flesh permeating everything around you.
Apparently, to the so-called “pro-life” conservatives in Alabama’s House of Representatives, this scenario doesn’t sound too bad.
In fact, it sounds fantastic.
