Sioux Falls, SD -- Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.
The state law, which the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld last week, required abortion practitioners to inform every woman that she is terminating the life of a human being.
It requires giving her information about the mental health complications such as a high risk of depression and suicide and physical problems like hemorrhage infection, premature births of subsequent pregnancies, and infertility.
The woman considering the abortion receives a chance to sign in writing that she received the information and abortion practitioners who don't comply face losing their medical license, two years in prison and a possible medical malpractice lawsuit.
Whether the closing is temporary or permanent remains to be seen.
Dr. Allen Unruh, a leading pro-life advocate who works with Alpha Pregnancy Center, told LifeNews.com that Monday was a historic day.
"Time will tell if Planned Parenthood plans to re-open it’s doors, but as for now, the regular abortions were canceled today as the abortionist refused to show up," he explained.
"We will see if any other abortionists plan to take the risks involved with full disclosure of what they do to women and their unborn children," he added.
South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long said last week the law would go into effect on Saturday following a decision earlier this month by a federal appeals court saying it's constitutional.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the statute and, then, on Thursday, Planned Parenthood’s application to enjoin the statute following the appeals court decision failed.
The measure specifically tells them to tell women "the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being," defined as a human being. It also requires that the abortion practitioner give women the contact information of a local pregnancy center, as well other information about her health risks and pregnancy support available.
The federal appeals court cited the portion of the Supreme Court's recent Gonzales v. Carhart decision on partial-birth abortion referring to the post-abortion problems women experience.
The court indicated "some women come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained. Severe depression and loss of esteem can follow.”
The above quotes are typical of your replies to me since the beginning of this post. You began with hostility, it continues and I have asked to find someone else to harass.
Now, please, go away.
It seems you're really confused. Must be tough being you.
Sorry about that.
Bye-bye, buster.
No. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get a snotty,illiterate, lying little swine off my back.
Not half as tough as it mucht be for an illiterate, empoty-headed bratty pre-shool drop out like you -- a pnony who claims to be a doctor but displays the manners of a pig and shows an IQ of a cargo of scrap iron.
And, you know where you can shove that childish twaddle.
You can do better than that, Buster.
Okay, smooth-talker, I'll make you a deal:
Never, ever post to me again and I'll not post to you.
How's that for a deal, Buster?
Remember---not one more post.
I don’t make deals with rancid manure piles.
Please continue to post to me. If you don't post to me, I'll get very upset.
Now that is downright pathetic; but I guess it isn't a bad best-effort composition by a braindead mental basket case like you.
And, haviung been informed that it isn't in the best interest of society as a whole to upset nasty, bratty infants, I guess I will just have to throw you bull excreta back into your stupid face until the moderators decide to kill this thread that you have so zestfully worked to kill, with your unrelenting lying and childish attacks.
Then you can brag to your fellow loathsome playmates how Turret Gunner A20 hijacked the thread and had it locked up.
So just keep it up, midget-mind. I don't mind telling you the truth about how pitiful your juvenile attention-getting asininity is as long as you want to keep your insecurity on display.
So please keep on posting to me, even if I'm not here. I'll rest assured that you can continue without me.
Let su pray that this time you are more reliable about that than you were about that childish “bye bye’ garbage.
But I won’t hold my breath.
