FL state rep introduces 'admitting privileges' bill

A Florida lawmaker believes he is on solid ground with a proposal dealing with abortionists operating in the state.

State Rep. Mike Hill of Florida has introduced a bill requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic where they are terminating the lives of babies.

Hill explains the bill: "And the reason for that is we find that now if there is a complication because of an abortion, that the doctor performing that surgery simply calls the emergency management. They come, pick up the lady, take her to the hospital and they wash their hands of all responsibility. Well, that's not right."

If the woman is unconscious upon arrival or otherwise unable to communicate the emergency, doctors face a mystery that must be solved before adequate treatment can be provided.

If a doctor doing any other type of surgery must have admitting privileges, why are abortionists an exception?

"Well, that's a good question," says Hill. "And it doesn't make any sense to me, just like it doesn't make any sense that a young lady, 17 years old, must have permission from her mother at home to get an aspirin from a nurse at school. But she does not have to have permission to go get an abortion.

“If the woman is unconscious upon arrival “

But, I thought abortion was safe and legal?

Why not lyposuction? That is more in demand and more needed.
