Hello again, Steve:
I have never said I supported an invasive procedure, but again which law makes it mandatory?
Uhhhh... Which laws make it mandatory?? ALL of 'em. Here's what Wisconsin is doing.
The language of Wisconsin Senate bill is an example of how they imbed the transvaginal probe while claiming you have a choice, “An ultrasound on the pregnant woman using whichever transducer the woman chooses; provide a simultaneous oral explanation during the ultrasound including the number of unborn children and presence and location of the unborn child; display the ultrasound images so that the pregnant woman may view them; provide a medical description of the ultrasound images including the dimensions of the unborn child and a description of any viewable external features and internal organs of the unborn child; and provide a means for the pregnant woman to visualize any fetal heartbeat, in a quality consistent with current medical practice, and a simultaneous oral explanation of the visual display of the heartbeat in a manner understandable to a layperson (ultrasound requirements).”
Hint: In order to achieve most of that with the “quality consistent with current medical practice”, a transvaginal ultrasound must be used. Oh, but they didn't SAY vaginal probe. Republicans learned after the Virginia debacle. They found a new way to mandate vaginal ultrasounds without saying it. |

PP set themselves up as the guardian angel of women, they are not protecting the whole woman. They were silent during Gosnell's reign of terror and in fact enabled him. They were not on the front lines ensuring that never happens again, they were covering their a$$es. And now they are fighting regulations that would prevent just such another atrocity. They don't get a pass and it does not just boil down to"choice." Lives are at stake.

Doesn't matter how many abortions have been performed if they were legal abortions. Women have a right to them. Of course you may not agree but it's their choice. Women want that choice and well to do females exercise it with no problem.
Its just the lower incomes that are adversely affected, made worse in Texas by not expanding Medicaid. So such selective control over reproductive health care actually takes choice and options from already cash strapped females. What's bogus is the admitting privilege requirement that hospitals only give to doctors that actually admit patience as rarely does an abortion lend itself to a hospital visit, and the cost to hospitals isn't worth it since they bring no new customers to offset the costs of those rare visits. But you knew that and closing PP, and other clinics was the plan since Perry's sister is has her own clinics she is a part of to take up the slack. I know you said that was debunked, but offered no link to it. I am sorry for your daughter, but she is exactly the demographic most affected by failing to expand Medicare, single with no kids, and little or no income. It's state governments not the feds you should direct your anger and outrage to, and in Texas the county hospitals which run their own health care. Think about it, one in four uninsured people just in Texas. To poor to buy,and not poor enough to qualify for help. UNNACCEPTABLE!! Makes no sense to make the good pay for what the bad have done no matter how the intentions. The locals dropped the ball in PA, but what's the excuse right here in our state? How does that help the females who have more needs than an abortion, but no insurance and no money? |

Perry’s sister an advocate for surgical centers - Texas Politics
One of the controversial tenets of the abortion restriction bill would require all abortions to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers, which are a distinct type of healthcare facility set up for outpatient surgeries. Abortion rights advocates say the new requirement would force many clinics to close because they wouldn’t be able to afford to upgrade their facilities. They also say the upgrades are unnecessary and that no data shows current clinics aren’t properly equipped to provide good care. If the bill passes, only five Texas abortion clinics would remain open — those that are already equipped as ambulatory surgical centers, advocates say. But a question remains: would the 420 other ambulatory surgical centers that exist in Texas begin performing the operation? Abortion rights advocates predict that the demand for the procedure won’t disappear with passage of the law. One company that will be faced with that decision is United Surgical Partners International, based in Addison, TX. Their vice-president of government affairs is Milla Perry Jones, Gov. Rick Perry’s sister. She is also on the board of the Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center Society. It should be noted that the legislation now under consideration by the Texas Legislature is patterned after proposals that have been adopted in other states, so it did not originate with Gov. Perry’s office. Rich Parsons, a Perry spokesman said he could not say whether Perry has discussed the legislation with his sister, but said, “he strongly supports protecting women’s health by raising the standard of care they receive at abortion clinics.”

Obama's war on women
[ 18 Answers ]
Why does Obama hate women? Add to that the fact that Obama doesn't care about real life issues women are facing such as gas and grocery prices instead of $9.00 contraceptives, and I'd say Obama is the one waging a war on women, not Republicans.
