Judge tosses right-to-know abortion law (Florida)

Thanks for the post. You know, I just don't know how anyone could be pro-choice. My sister went through hell to get pregnant, was on bedrest at home and the hospital for a long time, the baby's umbilical cord, unbeknowest to the doctor's was wrapped around the body and the neck. My sister was hooked up to monitors 24 hours a day, and everytime the baby put pressure on the cord, the baby's breathing and heart rate would drop and all the bells and whistles would go off. Nurses would run into her room 7, 8 times a night and roll her back and forth in the hopes of changing the position. This went on for about a month. Finally, the baby went into distress and they had to do a c-section at 31 weeks. When this little angel was born, she could have been held with one hand. When I actually got to hold her the first time, I just stared at her and fought back the tears for a good hour just thinking about all the babies that are aborted at this stage. JThey are just so precious and beautiful. My sister trekked an hour each way to the hospital every day and spent an average of nine hours a day just bonding. My father also went in every day for a couple hours. The nurses said they have never seen a grandfather so devoted. I challenge every pro choicer to see first hand a little precious preemie and how beautiful and delicate they are and I'll bet many would change their stance on the "right to choose".

Department of Health General Counsel William Large said the agency respectfully disagrees with the opinion and will appeal it again to the 4th District Court of Appeal. From there it would move to the Florida Supreme Court

So it's liberal scumbags right on up the line, all of whom can be counted on to carry water for their abortion mill masters. The baby killing business means lots of boats, vacations, caviar and wine for these people. And, of course, campaign fund bonanzas for every one of these scumbag Democrats. This law is dead in the formaldehyde as far as Florida is concerned.

Is this entirely a state issue, or could this somehow end up at SCOTUS?

I don't disagree with most of your response, but I see a fundamental difference between a patient going in for cardiac bypass and a patient going in for an abortion.

The risks to a bypass patient if he does not have the surgery are, potentially, severe illness and/or death. The risks of having surgery therefore usually outweigh the risks of avoiding it. Not much of a chance of financial loss in this case if both sides are fully outlined.

Abortion on the other hand, is by and large an elective procedure. The risks of not having an abortion are very slight, except in extreme cases. The risks of having an abortion, if explained fully, might very well outweigh the prospect of having a baby in the mind of the patient. MUCH greater potential for financial loss.

I appreciate your points regarding elective surgery in general. Maybe it's not abortion that should be singled out, but rather the entire genre of elective surgery.
