In other words just let any fornicating idiot in

In other words Shannon wants to make it easier for any fornicating idiot to get professional licenses

Filling McKean’s old State Government spot is Iowa Rep. Shannon Lundgren, R-Peosta. She said she is particularly interested in addressing professional licensing on her new beat.

“We’re really over-regulated when it comes to licenses in this state,” Lundgren said. “We’re going to take a look at lessening people’s burden, to get people back to work.”

Sigh. Licensing exists namely to protect the public.

1. I don't get

how something can really be "over-regulated"

[nature-lover]

2. Engineering, teaching, medical, plumbing???

3. Shannon thinks requiring only qualified individuals be allowed to cut into someone's body...

...is over regulation.

4. Does that include using wire hangers to terminate pregnancy

instead of doing it in a sterile clinic?

I wonder if "Fundies" pray the baby away, like everything else.

(DUers--Don't take this seriously. I'm playing mind games with RWers.)

6. Ah, there is a qualification...

Only when performed in a back alley that is dark and uninhabited. Then all you need is a hanger and its appropriate.

Oh, you haven't seen the Baby Pray Away doll, I guess? I imagine it is easy to get the picture as to how it works so I won't be graphic here.

(same here. RW mind games)

5. They want to go after teachers licenses most likely

They want their confederate-loving, white supremacists uncles to be allowed to teach history and social studies.

They sure don't want to allow more competition in the skilled trades like plumbing or electrician - those guys are more likely to vote Republican.
