Actions have consequences. Emotional distress after having an abortion is a consequence.

If it passed it would set a dangerous precedent (assuming it held up to legal challenges).

Substitute any word in place of ‘abortion’ and we would all be screaming. I am a strong believer in the rights and responsibilities of individuals, not the village. Make a bad life choice, you own it and everything that follows. You don’t get to outsource your guilt, regret, emotional distress.

Besides, all that will happen is the woman will have one more form to sign acknowledging she has been counseled about the emotional consequences when she realizes she killed her unborn child.

To: Protect the Bill of Rights

The problem with your argument is that we are talking about someone’s ultimate right being denied them without their consent not some property or such being denied.

The unborn child has no protection under the law as it stands now. One can sue for a wrongful death why not in this case? Why are abortionist given so much legal protection from litigation?
