The problem with being a governor who realizes that making miscarriages an investigatible occurrence is idiotic, is that if he vetoes the bill, all his opponents will say "He doesn't care if babies die! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!" And too many loony tunes will believe it. And you may bet safely that there are opponents waiting for Utah's governor to make his move.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Jessica, my heart goes out to you. And to have your personal grief getting tangled up in this kind of fucked up politics....
Ugh, just ugh. People are so fucked up.
I'm sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
he loves you so much he wants to make you his eternal bride.
Except he probably just wants to eat you.
But that's not part of the fantasy, is it? How far does the typical fantasy go--stay human, stay alive? Become a vampire bride? Puppy chow is out, I'm guessing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh Jessica, my heart goes out to you. And to have your personal grief getting tangled up in this kind of fucked up politics....
Ugh, just ugh. People are so fucked up.
I'm sorry.
All of this. Ugh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Except he probably just wants to eat you.
This.
I'm thinking of coming at it from a Angel vs. Angelus: Or why Kiefer was hotter than Jason Patrick in Lost Boys.

Because books.
But that's not part of the fantasy, is it?
My favorite take on this ever is the song from Really Rosie, "The Awful Truth".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Except he probably just wants to eat you.
Like that episode of Buffy with the vampire fanatics. Lie to Me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jessica, I'm sorry if my posting that link was unnecessarily upsetting.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
There is nothing about that Utah thing that does not make me angry.
Especially in light of what Jessica and DJ have been through.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd seen it already, so no worries there.
And I'm more angry about it than upset. Also REALLY FUCKING THANKFUL that I live in New York.
