- This is amazingly disgusting.
-
- Every time waiting periods are discussed in this group by
- pro-lifers, I am more & more convinced that they're a coverup
- for an attempt to prevent women from exercising their rights.
-
- We have Petey Honey & other sidewalk "counsellors" advocating
- that they do something that prevent them from having even minor
- surgery, and endanger their lives if they do.
-
- We have Overpeck talking in his condescending way about women
- under stress making bad decisions, and about how they need
- counselling.
-
- We see terrorists frightening abortion providers into giving
- up their practices.
-
- They're trying to do an end-run around the law. Having failed
- to make abortion illegal, they now try to make it difficult for
- a woman to carry her decision through.
