Well, it is "unclear whether the bill would require the doctor to be present throughout the procedure."
3 days of Dr. time? I doubt it....

We have one clinic in Charlotte that wasn't administering methotrexate properly, so now we need laws to restrict ALL clinics???

Let's take this a step further -- if someone smokes should we not pay for their lung cancer treatment? Overweight diabetics? Why should I pay for insulin? You get my point..... And frankly I don't care if you want to pay for it or not - the fact is that this procedure is legal and is protected under the right to privacy granted under the 14th amendment. Maybe I didn't want to pay for a war in Iraq but plenty of my tax dollars went there.

Thank you. My point.

I was not referring to the election, people voted and the results were the results. It is the underhanded process in which this was brought forth and pushed through that I find shameful.

If there had been time for both sides to have a fair debate for their position on the issue, then put to vote; then I think most would have less of an issue.

Oh, we don't need so very many of our laws, it is difficult to know where to start...

My letter to McCrory has a "Liberty" stamp on it.
The Reds and Blues in the NCGA would probably think I mailed it from out of the country, since it is an unrecognizable, indecipherable foreign word.

But, my letter to McCrory this morning invokes The 4th of July, and tells him to step up to the plate and take a swing for liberty and small government, that I don't wake up every morning praying to be micro-governed by any of the misfits in the NCGA.
Somewhat unrelated, but do you ever get a response, of any kind, when you send a letter? Typically I receive a general thanks for contacting us type of response, the occasional personal response, but I've yet to receive anything from the governor and wondered if I'm not sending correctly.
