Kansas Abortion Bill Would Impose Sweeping Restrictions

Among the most contested provisions of the bill is the section that would exempt a doctor from a medical malpractice suit if a woman claims the physician withheld information about potential birth defects to prevent her from having an abortion. In addition, a woman would not be able to sue if she suffers health damage from a pregnancy as a result of information withheld from her to prevent an abortion. A wrongful death suit could still be filed, however, if the mother died.

Jesus Christ. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The bill would also require women be told about potential breast cancer risks from abortions, even though medical experts discount such a connection.

Guise. Pro-lifers just care so much about women’s health that they are requiring doctors to warn them of health risks that don’t actually exist.

The same doctors they are now giving free license to lie and manipulate women into taking actual health risks without any warning or consent.

Let me get this straight. Doctors who purposely didn’t do their jobs so they could control their patients’ reproductive decisions are totally cool with Kansas conservatives? Doctors who purposely didn’t do their jobs, thereby preventing future parents from having time to adequately prepare for a child with disabilities? Doctors who purposely didn’t do their jobs and allowed their patients to get hurt? Doctors who went against all legitimate science in the name of their own ideology?

Kansas. Why?
