36. Most reasonable legislation allows for these kinds of emergencies

Tue Feb 19, 2013, 11:45 AM

Feb 2013

But we aren't seeing reasonable legislation proposed these days.

I understand not wanting abortion on demand at 20 weeks. (I don't agree but I understand.) But allowing that distaste to lead to misguided legislation that puts women at risk is criminal, IMO.
