now this ridiculousness?
and if we'd concentrate on teaching a well rounded COMPREHENSIVE sex ed class in school (instead of the fantasy of abstinance), we'd have FAR LESS ABORTIONS TO BEGIN WITH
Ruling Gives South Dakota Doctors a Script to Read
Women Seeking Abortion Must Be Told About 'Unique Living Human Being'
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."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit last week lifted a preliminary injunction that prevented the language from taking effect. A spokesman for Planned Parenthood, which runs the state's only abortion clinic, said doctors will begin reciting the script to patients as early as this week.
On another front, South Dakota voters will be asked in a Nov. 4 referendum to consider broad limits on abortion for the second time since 2006. The ballot measure includes exceptions for rape, incest and the woman's health that were not part of the 2006 wording rejected by voters.......

I did not know about this...this is so disturbing. This type of coercion has no place in a medical procedure.
i had no idea it was going to happen either - until i read the story.
it IS a medical procedure - which is SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE. where are our rights?
our rights have flown out the window in some cases, I'm sad to say.
you're right. but the scariest part is most of us have LET our rights be taken away while we've either had our heads in the sand, denied it or encouraged it
