For several months, I have received mailings from Planned Parenthood asking my support for the ”Freedom of Choice Act.” No discussion was given to its implications so I researched them.
If put into effect, could states impose any of the following regulations? 1) Only physicians perform abortions; 2) women must affirm informed consent and non-coercion; 3) no public funding of elective abortions; state pays childbirth; 4) conscience clause for doctors; 5) second physician after viability; 6) pathology reports on tissue; 7) recordkeeping (anonymous); 8)
information concerning alternatives and fetal development; 9) waiting period; 10) method used to preserve life of viable child; 11) no abortions to select gender; 12) no abortion use as birth control. The answer in each case is no.
In order to preserve its multimillion-dollar abortion industry, Planned Parenthood and others have deliberately kept voters misinformed of their intentions.
Whether one is for or against legal abortions, this is still a seriously flawed bill with many detrimental implications.
