Missouri's New Anti-Abortion Law

Republicans in the Florida legislature attempted to urge women who were going to have an abortion to view an ultrasound. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Charlie Crist. Missouri is going one step further by forcing women to read

"The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being." This statement will be prominently featured on state mandated literature doctors are now required to distribute to women considering abortions – regardless of the doctor, patient, or medical organization’s philosophy or beliefs.

So much for the religious freedom Republicans say they love.

It is required law for women to read this material before getting an abortion. It serves no medical purpose whatsoever. The goal of Republicans and social conservatives is to make the woman feel like shit and decide not to have an abortion. If a woman doesn't want to have an abortion then that is her choice. Forcing to read Christian Right propaganda is absolutely unnecessary. Christian conservatives that say otherwise would freak out if mothers to be were given pro-choice material in the delivery room.
