South Carolina Bill Would Require 24 Hour Waiting Period Prior to Abortion Procedures

A proposed bill in the South Carolina state legislature would require women to wait for 24 hours after viewing an ultrasound prior to having an abortion. The legislation was approved Wednesday by a House subcommittee and will now move to the South Carolina state House Judiciary Committee.

Currently, South Carolina requires a one hour waiting period after viewing an ultrasound. The state also requires women to receive brochures about fetal development and abortion alternatives prior to undergoing abortion procedures

Please excuse my overuse of the puke smilie.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Once again, women aren't considered fully human enough to make an unapologetic decision about a medical procedure.

1. You know what else they should do?
Set up roadblocks around every women's clinic, and only allow them to use facilities on the 20th floor of high-rises with no elevators.

If they are determined to set up as many obstacles as they can, why not just be open about it?

...attempting similar insanity (state mandated ultrasounds) :eyes:.
Just read about it at IBtP:

Add Nebraska state senator Tony Fulton to the thick and oily list of misogynist fuckwads who thinks he knows better than you who should own and administrate your personal internal organs. Fulton is sponsoring one of those wackaloon anti-abortion bills requiring that women seeking abortions undergo an ultrasound procedure and be forced to view the resulting fetal image.
