Re: Liberals war on women takes big advance
the central question is over liberalization and if this represents such an instance. For example, I'm sure we agree that regulation shouldn't require a women to get counseling prior to an abortion with the intent of talking her out of the procedure. But I am sure we equally agree that surgical abortion clinics should be subject to stricter health standards than a nail salon, that inspections should occur and that violations should be rectified, and that reports of physician caused injuries and deaths should be investigated. Recently in PA the later three all contributed to the gosnell case, due to the misplaced idea that liberalization should be pursued at all cost, regardless of the effects it had on patient safety
Such liberalization is inexcusable, because it only hurts the patients, who are way to vulnerable to abuse in the patient/medical practitioner relationship
Poor women are less capable of making a decision on abortion? That's what I got out of this article. Who is manipulating them? If anything, this increased competition will serve to protect these women more. Yeah people will benefit from liberalizing these laws, people always make money off of liberalizing laws. Look, if you are against abortion being made more available, because you see it as morally objectionable, I take no issue with that. I would generally disagree, but I see your point. This talk about "protecting women" on the other hand is ridiculous, unnecessary (yes abortions have risks attached to them, but so do all medical procedures), and very condescending. These "mental health issues" are also in the same vein. You don't think that the vast majority of women who obtain abortions don't think about the pain of what they're doing? Nobody wants to need an abortion. Everyone agrees that they suck, but these implications that women can't make this decision themselves really irks me.
