There is little doubt that they did not read the bill. They were just told what it was about and pledged their support. They are not following a thoughtful process.

"You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate."

He was referring to the US Senate, but I think most will agree the axiom holds true at the state level.

But in rare agreement with Sir Vic, I'm betting on: too lazy to read what some kook wrote for them.

His take? It's an error that should not have been overlooked. (What's interesting is that they repealed the two RCWs authorizing abortion but DID leave in the one for criminal penalties.) He also could not say WHO wrote it in as that is "confidential." Meaning, it could have been the sponsors of the bill OR his office.

Read your damn bills.

It seems as though standard practice has become reading summaries and voteing based on if they're ideologically for or against the principle, regardless of what the law actually says.
