70 new anti-abortion laws OK'd in 22 states, second most ever
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/02/14 | PAUL BEDARD

Some 22 states enacted 70 new provisions to target abortion last year, the second most ever, prompting an outcry from Planned Parenthood, which accused “out-of-touch Tea Party politicians” with using “every underhanded trick in the book to get these laws passed.”

A new report from the Guttmacher Institute said that the 70 provisions were second in number to the nearly 90 approved in 2011. The group said that 205 abortion restrictions were approved over the past three years, more than the 189 enacted during the previous decade.

The report also noted that many states increased access to abortion, such as California, but it was mostly critical of the more conservative states and efforts to reduce abortion.

Amazing achievement.

The baby killers need to be exposed for the barbarians they are.

“every underhanded trick in the book to get these laws passed.”

Rich coming from liberals.

Sadly, virtually all of these new “laws,” end, in effect, with ‘and then you can kill the baby.’ Which is a violation of the equal protection for every person that is absolutely required by the supreme law of our land, the Constitution of the United States.

Pro-Baby vs Pro-Sodomy Law — I wonder which is in the lead.

Horrible, ONEROUS restrictions like making sure that an abortionist uses sterile gloves and instruments, and God forbid, if they puncture a uterus, that they have resuscitation equipment.

Worst of all these abortionists must have hospital privileges in case one of their patients start bleeding profusely and they have to use more than a Beanie Baby to stop the bleeding.

Yes sir, asking an abortionist to have the same standards as a botox clinic is certainly unreasonable.

Whatever happened to the "safe" part of "safe legal and rare" argument?

Guess liberals are just fine with storefront abortionists.

If you have the governmental power to regulate mass murder, you have the power to stop it.
