    More legislative crap designed to undermine a woman’s right to manage her own reproductive life. I personally don’t feel protected by this proposal- I feel threatened by it.

    Seems like it would save a lot of lives. Over 1 million abortions a year a lot. I really like the idea of funding for ultrasound equipment. I’ve read that less than 9% of women planning to get an abortion actually go through with it after an ultrasound. That may not be accurate, but it’s promising.

    This appears to be a common sense approach to addressing the root cause of abortions. Allowing women to elect to have an abortion with all the information they need to make the right choice.

    From this article:
    http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/107615/anti-choice_advocates_oppose_measures_that_actually_decrease_the_abortion_rate/

    It is reassuring to hear “individual pro-lifers getting on board with the pro-choice movement’s long-standing goals is a good thing for all of us. For too long, pro-choicers have been sidelined in our efforts to work for a full array of reproductive rights because the abortion wars sucked up all the time and energy. Most self-identified pro-life Americans support contraception access, and are uncomfortable with abortion and want to see it happen less often. Pro-choicers are offering an actual plan of action to decrease the abortion rate without punishing women or compromising women’s health. All mainstream anti-choice groups can offer is “make it illegal.” So it’s not suprising that pro-life people who actually want to see fewer abortions are supporting programs which have been proven to do just that.”

    This appears to be another bill aimed at giving Planned Parenthood additional funding. Planned Parenthood’s main focus is to perform abortions.
