    Its up to the doctor and patient to assume any risks, and liabilities of invasive surgery, NOT some ill informed law maker with a moral agenda. Don't you think they, the doctor and patient, are qualified to make that decision? What makes you think a government is? For what other purpose than put obstacles in front of a doctor performing a legal procedure would a legislature mandate a totally unnecessary, invasive procedure? And what's up with the moral testing clause in the rewrite of the transvaginal bill, and what's up with the person hood legislation if not to outlaw contraception?

    You right wing conservative Christians look more like fundamentalist Muslims every day, thinking you can just outlaw a females rights and subjugate them to your own moral will. What's even more hypocritical, is that was the argument against affordable care by the right, a bureaucrat was going to get between a doctor and a patient. Didn't take long to see the true colors of the right did it?

    And as tom noted, you're objecting to this mandate (obviously for conscience reasons) while telling us our constitutionally enumerated right to religious freedom being violated by the Obamacare mandate is without merit? You can't be serious.

    What's being done by abortionist is what's called advise and consent. What you are trying to do is take away the advise, and the consent. How does the law take away YOUR freedom? I say it doesn't. How does it take away from the churches freedddom? It doesn't, you just say it does.

    It does stop the church from denying others THEIR freedom though.

    You may be more sophisticated as opposed to barbaric, but no less driven to control others, but to be fair, all you guys think your religion should be the law for everybody, and that's what qualifies the comparisons.

    I think after THOUSANDS of years, females know what an abortion is! I know they do! Its insulting to think that they don't. Its insulting to think that YOU, or anybody thinks that making a choice between you, and your doctor, is anybodies business.

    The hypocrisy of such a position is you want to make a choice in the name of life but offer nothing after a child is born. Then you wash your hands of any responsibility, and put it on the mother who didn't want that responsibility in the first place.

    Now it only affects poor, and those who have no power, or resources, because a female with money can/has/will do as she pleases any way.

    And Planned Parenthood is all too eager to provide those services, even without parental consent if they have to. Cry me a river, there is no lack of access - this is still a cure in search of a disease.

    So we've established a transvaginal ultrasound is not required by the law, 99 percent of clinics perform ultrasounds before an abortion already, I do want to change her mind but the abortionist isn't going to intimidate her into doing so. Again, what's the beef?

    Hello again, Steve:

    Uhhh, you forgot, a mandatory waiting period, making her LOOK at the sonogram, making her LISTEN to the fetal heartbeat. You also forgot about the FAKE abortion clinics where they FOOL young girls...

    These tactics are utterly DESPICABLE.

    The beef I have, is abortion is a LEGAL procedure... In this great nation of ours, we should be INCREASING access to legal stuff, NOT restricting it. Like you always tell me about pot, if you don't like the law the way it is, CHANGE it.

    Now, if you want to stand outside an abortion clinic and YELL at the women, go for it... That's legal. But, to get the state to do your dirty work for you is VERY Un-American... It won't stand.

    PS> (edited) Oh, yeah.. I forgot about the wanted posters and the murders... I suppose because they were abortion doctors, their murders were justified...

    (edit 11) Yeah, that's right Un-American and Un-Constitutional... It's not the state involving itself in the church as YOU allege... It's the church involving itself in the state, as I allege. You're not going to deny that your disapproval of abortion is based upon your religion, are you?

    Nahhh, because that's exactly where it comes from, and the state is constitutionally prohibited from aiding you in your religious cause...

    What's the waiting period... 2 days ? Seems reasonable if you want to snuff the life of a baby. There are no requirements to look at the image... they can sign a waiver... choice baby! Where is the baby's choice to choose life ?

    By the way ex, you should know better than to throw the radical tactics argument at me, you know I don't agree with such tactics. I'm not for the murder of an abortionist any more than I am for the murder of a baby. I don't scream at women, I listen and love. I don't fly banners showing pictures of dismembered babies and I don't do wanted posters, like your regime posts ghastly pics on packages of cigarettes.

    Heaven forbid someone smoke a cigarette without being warned of the potential ugliness, but let's not ask women to consider the life inside of them before snuffing it out.

    Again, why is there a baby there in the first place? If it is being aborted, it isn't wanted. Not all unwanted pregnancies are due to rape. Is this elective birth control? Why aren't we teaching our daughters to honor themselves and have the ego strength to say no to your sons who want sex and cooperatively create babies?

    I don't know about you but a lot of us are, and again you infer that it's men's fault.

    A HUGE part of the problem is the chief protagonist - Planned Parenthood - is actively subverting parents in their efforts to teach their daughters and sons to say no. So you tell me, how are we supposed to raise girls to have the courage to say no when the people that promote abortion are on a campaign encouraging them to say yes?

    Really? I teach my kids abstinence and then they infiltrate the schools with their message to kids that they SHOULD explore sexuality. They flat out instruct them on the methods from anal to vaginal intercourse and beyond on the internet. They send our kids text messages and then do their damnedest to furnish abortions without parental consent for crying out loud. Don't tell me they have nothing to do with how we raise our kids.

    That's rich, the left whines about soda makers and hamburger joints marketing to children, interfering with the parents' ability to properly raise their kids and all that rot, but when it comes to PP marketing sex they defend them. "Why, PP has nothing to do with how we raise our kids". Hogwash.
