What should we do......lie about the facts just to be politically correct? If you don't like the way the stats add up....just change them to your liking?
I hate this phrase.....but....IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Well, I will guarantee if a conservative made those arguments, the liberals would be screaming "racism". I guess IT IS WHAT IT IS.
God forbid a woman should have the right to choose according to her own free will:
A state law that takes effect Sunday requires all of a clinic's abortion providers to be certified OB/GYN's, and all of them must have privileges at a local hospital.
"Gov. Phil Bryant signed the bill with the new requirements into law in April after the Republican-dominated legislature overwhelmingly passed it. 'It's historic. Today you see the first step in a movement, I believe, to do what we campaigned on -- to say that we're going to try to end abortion in Mississippi,' Bryant said at the bill-signing event."
"The clinic says it is trying to comply. All of its doctors are OB/GYNs who travel in from other states. But only one can practice at a local hospital. The new law states that all doctors in a clinic must have hospital privileges."

If the majority of people in that state want this, then fine. If you don't want this, there are 49 more states, and several U.S. territories.
Please remember, before you all start screaming at me, this was the intent of having states, where each one could be different than another, and you could choose WHERE you wanted to live, based on which state had laws that you felt the most comfortable with.
Is THIS what 'God' does to a State when he is 'smiling'? I'd hate to see what it would be like if he ever frowned on Mississippi...

what a horrible law. as was pointed out this can only result in poor women undergoing self inflicted or back alley abortions. no woman should have to travel out of state for her medical needs, nor should anyone have to move out of state to have your civil rights.
