Schoolhouse Rock Parody Takes Aim At Texas' Terrible Abortion Bill (VIDEO)

Schoolhouse Rock Parody Destroys Texas Abortion Bill

As the Texas legislature prepares to vote on a new bill that would massively restrict abortion rights for women across the Lone Star State -- for the second time in a month, after it was defeated by Wendy Davis' historic filibuster -- a YouTube user made this parody of "I'm Just a Bill" from the '70s educational series "Schoolhouse Rock," with lyrics adjusted to fit the current fiasco in Texas. Here's a sample:

I'm a bad billI'm a really bad billAnd if they vote for me I think I'll be illWell, then I'm off to Rick PerryYou know he wants to signI'm red meat for the baseOops! he must have lost his mindIf he signs me, then I'll be a lawHow I hope and pray Wendy willStand up tall so I stay just a bill

This time around, though, the bill isn't so optimistic that clearer heads will prevail -- unfortunately, the bill will likely become a law, and Rick Perry is more likely to name three government agencies than to veto this thing.
