CHICAGO -- In a victory for antiabortion forces, doctors in South Dakota are now required to tell a woman seeking an abortion that the procedure "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being."
A law that took effect July 1 requires doctors to ask a woman seeking an abortion if she wants to see a sonogram of the fetus.
Under the law, doctors must say that the woman has "an existing relationship" with the fetus that is protected by the U.S. Constitution and that "her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated." Also, the doctor is required to say that "abortion increases the risk of suicide ideation and suicide."
Fucking hell. Do lawmakers not live in the real world? Are they so fucking removed from the rest of the population they have this concept of people as being a raging stew of idiots and asshats with chunky nuggets of inbred hicks?
I do not know anyone who is so mentally thick that they don't realize just where babies come from and what an abortion means. Yet they agonized over the decision, considered all the options, and then decided the best course of action that they could see. DEAL WITH IT.
I am not a huge fan of abortion, I think adoption is a better option for all involved, however it is not my right to step into someone else's life like that, nor is it my job to GUILT TRIP THEM and basically ask them "Do you want to be a murderer or a mother?"
Fuck you.
And, let us suppose for a moment, that a woman in the clinic is just that stupid that she has no feelings whatsoever for that child. She considers it a glop of goo that is inconvienent (which, to be fair, before the end of the first trimester it isn't much more than a group of cells, much less a "unique, living, seperate individual"). Do you want her having a child? She's either too stupid to raise it or too apathetic to care for it. So how is raising a child badly and making it just like her going to be an improvement for anyone?
Get your fucking noses out of private lives. There are better ways to handle a problem subject like that then by making a grieving mother soon-to-be feel like she's a murder. Which, btw, would be likely to 'increase thoughts of suicide and suicide ideation' when you've basically called her as much.
