NC legislators think back-alley abortions are just fine [View all]

[Panich52]

Rachel Maddow just covered NC's new bill to ban UNC's world-class ob-gyn program from teaching doctors-in-training on how to perform abortions.

McElreft, a proponent, said it doesn't need taught -- doctors can 'pick it up on their own.'

The unmitigated ignorance in such a statement is obvious. That is, obvious to all who are fully aware of the link between abortion, reproductive choice and women's health.

The theocratic misogynists who push such unenlightened legislation do so at the expense of the safety of women and girls. They are putting their self-righteous moralizing ahead of lives.

Yet they have the gall to call themselves 'pro-life.'
