Now that a federal judge has upheld Arizona’s more restrictive abortion law— banning the procedure starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy—other states may follow suit with similar legislation. But probably not California. State Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, in February introduced Senate Bill 1501, which would let nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse midwives perform routine abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy as a way of expanding access to the procedure. Which direction should the state take?
Poll: Should California Follow Arizona Lead on Abortion Rights Limits?
Meanwhile, state Sen. Christine Kehoe’s bill would expand access to abortions in the state.

Great news! Thanks for posting on Lemon Grove Patch!
Many fertilized eggs fail to attach to the placenta. Do we put their pictures on milk cartons? Do we throw the "mother" in jail until we find out if this failure to implant was the result of some "criminal" action of hers? Invitro fertilization would be illegal. Are couples' whose eggs are now frozen guilty of felony child abuse. If, after a successful implant, the remaining eggs are discarded, it would be felony murder - number of counts would depend on number of eggs. Doctors, lab people, etc. guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. If a woman has a miscarriage, should she fear the D.A. might file manslaughter or murder charges against her because a witness saw her jumping up and down when she was 4 weeks pregnant? I am running against Hunter in this election because the people of this district, regardless of party affiliation, need representation, not nonsensical grandstanding. Women's healthcare, REPUBLICAN women's healthcare should never be the purview of the young Mr. Hunter. It says (R) next to his name, but he's not a real Republican, he's an extremist, Mr. Gridlock, and it's past time for him to go, so we can get about moving this country forward..
"I don't have your vote? I wear that as a badge of honor." (PS--And David B. Secor still wears a stupid hat.)
While you two are having great fun playing computer games all day, people in the real world, both men and women, take women's healthcare very seriously and find such extremist positions absolutely unacceptable. So do I, with or without my hat. wearing a hattake
At least as many people are also "very concerned" about the taking--killing!--of innocent life. Consider the worse-case-scenario if you're right: If so, then I am infringing on a woman's "right to choose." But what if I'm right right? Then we're talking about, at best, wrongful death; at worst, murder. Pro-life people are in a world no less real than the one you inhabit, David, and they don't consider their defense of innocent life to be either "extreme" or a "game" on the computer. (They also, for the most part, eschew silly, theatrical headwear.)
(I never really noticed the hat before.)
To say otherwise is a fallacy, (See Ad Hominem Circumstantial) I would happy to leave issues pertaining to woman's bodies to women, but in this case, we're talking about another body, too.
Second, how much education education will one need to prevent having 15 abortions in 16 years? http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ReproductiveHealth/abortion-addict-admits-multiple-abortions-suicide-attempts/story?id=8594347#.UBrZQU1lQ_o How do you justify the fact that half of women who have a first abortion return for a second if it's not being used as a means of contraception. Honestly I don't know why I got so involved with this topic, I normally stay away. But when I hear the if you don't have a uterus argument I can't help myself.
http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2011/12/16/index.html "Second Trimester: During the second three months, the state may only enact laws which regulate abortions in ways "reasonably related to maternal health." This simply means that a state may determine who is qualified to perform the abortion and where such an operation may take place. "

Indeed they are, and contemporary human embryology and developmental biology leave no significant room for doubt about it." http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/acorns-and-embryos
http://www.rhtp.org/abortion/documents/Second-TrimesterAbortionFactSheetExternal.pdf Then when the mothers "mental health" ecomes the issue then we are into a very subjective set of rules. I am not saying it happens everyday, but then again an abortion doctor is not killed every day but we hear that brought up constantly. Like I said this isn't a huge issue for me, I,m done.
Do you support ALL pregnant women having first-rate prenatal care, which would help ensure that the "person" you so desperately want to protect has good care? If you really CARED about the abortion rate, you would be actively supporting sex education and Planned Parenthood, which by offering birth control to millions of women avoids untold thousands of abortions each year. Those abortions would not be happening without extremist insistence that Planned Parenthood not offer birth control. Extremists are co-conspirators in those "deaths" as they would not have occurred had not extremists forced the issue. Once those children are born, some of them have difficult lives. That doesn't concern you of course as they may now be unemployed, and instead of "innocent life" you can immediately switch to calling them deadbeats, leeches, parasites who are no longer a concern for good Christians like yourself. Your egocentric hypocrisy literally jumps from the page. I know you must scour through the Gospels to try to find a quote from Jesus that doesn't say help the poor, feed the sick, etc. So run to some other part of the book and pretend those quotes are the equivalent of Jesus' so you can comfortably ignore what He so clearly told you you must do. Enough.
