Utah Governor Signs Bill to Require Anesthesia Before Abortion

“Florida Governor Rick Scott on Friday signed a bill into law that will cut off state funding to clinics providing abortions as well as impose more restrictions on abortions in the state.” Jurist

“The division among the justices seemed clear on the measure’s dual requirements — an abortion doctor must have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital in case a woman needs emergency admission and an abortion clinic must meet the health and safety standards of other walk-in surgical centers.” BPress

“[M]ore than 8 in 10 Americans (81 percent) … and nearly two-thirds of pro-choice supporters (66 percent), would restrict abortion to — at most — the first three months of pregnancy…..Additionally, 77 percent of Americans, including 79 percent of women and 71 percent of “pro-choice” supporters, say that laws can protect both a mother and her unborn child.”

Two Christian legal organizations have already filed suit, and now the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates have joined them. …the first requirement of the law is for the pro-life centers to post a sign referring women to someplace they can obtain free or low-cost abortions.”
