DC Residents 1: Representative Franks 0

Because legislating the reproductive rights of women in his own state wasn't enough, Representative Trent Franks (Az.) proposed a 20-week abortion ban in the District. He then barred DC's pro-choice female delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton from speaking out against the measure. You know, because he's a tool.

DC residents then decided to bring all municipal complaints to Franks, and they've taken to calling him "Mayor." Seriously, rats to potholes to metro issues, DC residents have descended on him instead of DC's government.

This appears to be a joint effort between the Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington DC and a group DC Vote, which wants to secure representation for DC in Congress. Thus far about 50 DC residents have taken to Representative Franks with suggestions on how to make the city a better place.

Franks has yet to admit how ridiculous it is that a man from Arizona is trying to legislate reproductive rights of women in the District. Franks claims it isn't about Arizona, DC, or women, instead, "the pain of the fetus."
