Reply #25: There are doing the same thing

[liberalnurse]

here in Ohio....well the goal is the same, just different twists....The gig now is to add last minute Amendments to good Bills which make the Bill 100% different that what was discussed in Committee. That happened yesterday in the Ohio Senate. The last line is the clincher which needs explained...

Freeper-Fundy thinking.....(this is tricky to explain)

It means, that a physician /clinic who may of preformed a diagnostic test for fetal abnormalities will NOT have to tell a woman that there is any thing wrong if that is indeed the case. ( such as anacephalic, Downs Syndrome)....

This protects them, the physician, from liability according to the right wing nuts. They claim that if a pregnant women saying later, "Oh, they didn't tell me about that disability, I would of had an abortion if I knew that".

In reality, this meanings:

They physicians, do not have to tell a woman that the test was positive for any disability...including Downs, anacephalic, spinal bifida...etc...Thus, a women has lost the right to choose by default and or lack of information.
