massaraksh10Planned Parenthood Suspends Pill Abortions in Wisconsin.
2:51 pm - 04/20/2012Planned Parenthood ended nonsurgical abortions at its Wisconsin clinics Friday because of a new state law that subjects doctors who perform abortions but don't follow certain procedures to criminal penalties.
The law, signed by Gov. Scott Walker two weeks ago after the Republican-controlled state Legislature passed it earlier this year, took effect Friday.
It mandates that women having nonsurgical abortions visit the same doctor three times and that doctors ensure the woman is having the procedure voluntarily and without coercion. Failure to follow those requirements could result in felony charges against the doctor.
The law does not affect emergency contraception, known as the morning-after pill.
Planned Parenthood president and chief executive officer Teri Huyck said because of confusion over the new law, nonsurgical abortions are being suspended. Planned Parenthood will continue to provide surgical abortions at its clinics in Madison, Milwaukee and the Appleton area, its leaders said.
"The added risks of felony penalties for physicians who provide medication abortion are unnecessary and intended to threaten a physician's ability to provide women with medication abortion," Huyck said. "The decision to end a pregnancy is a complex one, specific to each woman and her individual circumstances. Decisions about childbearing should be made by a woman in consultation with her family and doctor — not by politicians."
Four other states — Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota — have similar laws to Wisconsin's new law, according to the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research organization that supports abortion rights. There is also a similar law set to take effect in Tennessee in July, and legislatures in Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Oklahoma were considering like-minded proposals, according to the Institute.
In Wisconsin on Friday, Planned Parenthood supporters denounced the new law, while abortion opponents praised the development.
Lisa Subeck, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, said the law adds unnecessary and intrusive restrictions for abortion providers.
And Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who is one of four Democrats running against Walker in a recall election, said he would work to overturn the law if elected.
Abortion opponents, however, praised the development.
Barbara Lyons, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life, called Planned Parenthood's decision a "true victory for Wisconsin women."
"This common sense law protects women at a time when it is most needed and provides help if she is a potential or real victim of domestic abuse," Lyons said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood said about 25 percent of women who terminate pregnancies use the pill-induced abortion method, which requires a woman to take two drugs within the first nine weeks of pregnancy.

You said that twice, Scott Bauer.
This is seriously a new low. Cutting out 1-in-4 abortions, raising the doctor's visits to the highest number I've heard of and increasing the overall cost to the woman three times, four times, five times?? Yeah, I'll bet abortion opponents praise this shit. Hopefully, Wisconsin will get rid of all their horrendous legislators soon and they can work to overturn this. Just ridiculo
us.

Date: 2012-04-21 03:00 pm (UTC)даже в сталинском СССР аборты были запрещены не все время, а определенный срок - из запретили незадолго до войны и запрет держался в послевоенное время. А в начале двадцатых или тридцатых аборты не только были разрешены, они были бесплатны - СССР в это время был страной пионером фенимисткого движения.
Вообще, правые в США - это ультраправые, очень мракобесные и агрессивные. Я в прошлом году читала про Tea Party, это просто описание про-фашисткой партии с печально знакомой нетерпимостью и тоталитарным outlook.И в Испании, и в Италии, оглядываясь на них, поднимают голову патриархальщина. Да и в России, судя по всему.

Date: 2012-04-21 03:05 pm (UTC)Эти товарищи именно стремятся вернуть мир в ситуацию перед русской революцией. После революции в России и после Второй Мировой Войны, ряд стран пошел на уступки, началось распределение богатства, так называемое государство благосостояния. А теперь идут попытки, и довольно успешные, все это разрушить, и вернуть нас в мир, описанный в "Отверженных" Гюго.

Date: 2012-04-21 04:18 pm (UTC)В Техасе очень неоднозначно, там люди приветливы и дружелюбны и я это очень люблю. Но был такой случай: Я еду мимо, а у церквушки кучка тёток с плакатами против абортов, и агрессивно. Я остановилась, подозвала тётку, говорю ей "Does it ever occur to you, that what you are doing might be offensive to other people? Представьте, в ответ я услышала что ей оскорбителен мой ОБРАЗ МЫСЛЕЙ. Что только лишний раз показывает их тупость. Демократическая страна, а как же.
