The Michigan Legislature has introduced a
group of
bills (only 2 were currently available) to try to help ensure that women in Michigan aren't being coerced into having an abortion. According to
an Associated Press article, the legislation would require abortion clinics to ask women and if they've been coerced, to wait 24 hours, make abortion coercion illegal and allow women to file lawsuit against individuals who have coerced them.
The pro-choice response:
"It seems to me this is just erecting more barriers to a woman's right to choose an abortion," said Sarah Scranton, Planned Parenthood's executive director.
Note to Ms. Scranton: If she's being
coerced into abortion then she's not
choosing abortion.
UPDATE:I received an e-mail from Feminists for Life supporting this legislation entitled "No Choice isn't Pro-Choice."
