RALEIGH -- Abortion-rights advocates urged North Carolina health officials on Friday to focus on science and not politics as they update rules for abortion clinics.

The updates have been submitted for public comment, including Friday's meeting in Raleigh. About 60 people, many of them wearing shirts promoting abortion rights, crowded into a Department of Health and Human Services and about a dozen had to stand.

About 15 people spoke, including several doctors who stressed the importance of access to abortion services. Only a few speakers favored stricter regulations.

The department will consider public comments until the end of January before handing the rules off to the state Rules Review Commission, and the Legislature is likely to examine them again. The changes were set in motion by a law the governor signed last year.

Must have been Haters. Presumably they were taken away and killed by the proper authorities.

Science also tells us that only half of its genetic make up is the mother’s. Therefore, enforce father’s rights. That will fix a lot of fornication.

Exactly, science proves that a fetus is a human being, not a clump of cells. Liberals hate science when it proves them wrong.

Mandatory pre-abotion disclosure and sonagrams are science. Hooray for science!

"Use science? Science tells us that is a baby!"

Pro-abortion people prefer MEDIEVAL science, not modern science.

Exactly this! It was a study of the science of gestation that changed my pro-choice mind. Before that, I had no idea how very much happens even before implantation, could not have identified a single difference between a fetus and an embryo to save my life. Science, and the knowledge of it, changes everything.

Abortion is the only area in which libs oppose informed consent regulations.

how about this science?

if they use brainwave activity to determine when life ends, how about use brainwave activity to determine when life begins?
