If they're so poor how the hell did they come up with the $300-500 for the abortion itself?
Sliding scale at Planned Parenthood.

The same way they came up with the $ for their cell phones, their cable-HDTVs and their fingernails.If they're so poor how the hell did they come up with the $300-500 for the abortion itself?
I was giving an example. The same argument could apply to any number of states.
"So what?" - I guess it depends. The only thing the 24 hour period does is make it more difficult for poor people to have an abortion, it really has no effect on anyone else.
Does it make it an infringement? Probably not...but the bigger question is, Does it serve any real legitimate interest?

It's considered a "cooling off" period to ensure the woman has thought about.
Sure, the typical woman has already given it a lot of thought, but since pro-choice always runs to the extremely rare example, I will also.
A 24 hour waiting period ensures that everyone has had time to digest the information and make an informed consent. The token inconvenience endured (not "suffered") by few is not enough to justify giving abortions to others with out their informed consent.
That would assume that I know every one of them personally now wouldn't it?
You certainly are not going to try to argue that poor people never have abortions are you?
If by your post you are seriously looking for me to assume a rationale I would probably argue that poor women traveling to another state to have an abortion scaped together enough money for the procedure (beg, borrow, steal).
Being poor makes it more difficult for a woman to have an abortion, and incidentally may also be why she wants an abortion.
He stated that it "ensures that everyone has had time" to digest the decision. This does not assume that any percentage of women does or does not take any particular length of time to weigh the decision, but that ALL women will have at least minimal time to do so.That assumes that most if not all women seeking an abortion decided to do so in the blink of an eye. That's rarely if ever the case. Adding an additional 24 hours onto the process is a meaningless gesture at best.

I propose that we make everyone wait 24 hours before they can buy fast food. Fast food is unhealthy, and we need a "cool down" period to make sure that everyone has thought it through before making such a purchase. Clearly, you are too emotionally distraught to make such a choice, and the government has a duty to "protect" you by controlling your lifestyle.
Funny, but wouldn't work, I'm not a large scale consumer of fast food, but when I want, I want and there will be a Burger King, Taco Bell, etc. moment in the upcoming future, whether or not there is a waiting period.I propose that we make everyone wait 24 hours before they can buy fast food.

I think you may be officially more twisted than me. Congrats!Pass the honey mustard....

Kentucky Grilled Fetus, Jerry, get with the times. Dipping the fetus in boiling oil ruins the texture and has too much cholesterol.
The problem with grilling is that it tends to fall through the grates.
Why do you think the third trimester abortion was invented?
Obviously. The drawback, of course, being that they are not as tender in the third trimester. It's a trade off, I suppose. I just usually go with a nice saute. Not too fatty, quick cooking, no grates. And if you leave the placental marinade on it never gets dry.
I say all rights should require a 24-hour waiting period. You can never be too careful.
