Abortion rights debate reignites at State House with introduction of three bills
Source: BDN
AUGUSTA, Maine — The thorny issue of abortion rights came to the forefront Thursday in Augusta with the introduction of three bills that sparked strong words even before they were introduced to lawmakers.
Pro-choice and pro-life activists pre-empted the introduction of the bills during competing news conferences only a few steps from one another but miles apart ideologically. At issue were three measures scheduled to be introduced Thursday afternoon to the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee. All three are similar to bills that failed in previous legislatures.
LD 760, An Act Regarding Informed Consent to an Abortion, would require doctors and health care workers to provide information about alternatives to abortion and remove a requirement in current law that the woman request the information to receive it. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Eleanor Espling, R-New Gloucester, also would require women to be provided with “scientifically accurate information about the fetus,” information about medical benefits that pregnant women may qualify for, and counseling about the father’s liability for support.
Members of a group called the Maine Choice Coalition who gathered Thursday at the State House characterized the bill as imposing a “script” on doctors who already provide a range of services and information to their patients.

Probably it's a good thing I'm not a Woman.
I'd carry a large squirt-gun (filled with India ink) with me and when somebody started their Anti-Choice crap, it would SQUIRT !!!
Pricks. 
"Pro-Life" sounds exactly like some bullshit the right-wing would come up with to bypass the true meaning and issue....like "Americans for a better life and Mom's Apple Pie."
