The last requirement of 4 clinical visits is ridiculous, but the other requirements make sense.

Unless you are raped, you cant act stupid and say you dont know the consequences of sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse can.....GASP....lead to a baby. Now either dont sleep around, protect yourself to the hilt, or except the reality of a baby.

Personal responsibility is not saying later, oh, ill just kill it because I mad bad choices.

I know it's a little off topic, but this part of the story is quite misleading. "The last abortion clinic in the vast, impoverished Rio Grande Valley closed Thursday, along with the sole remaining clinic in the 400-mile stretch between Houston and the Louisiana border, posing a tall obstacle to women seeking to end pregnancies across a wide swath of the nation’s second-largest state." It's only 107 miles from Houston to the LA border. Not 400 miles.

And they present no evidence as to why the clinics shut down. If these clinics have customers, they wouldn't shut down.

They would shut down if the can't meet the new state requirements though.

From the article:
Quote:
Lawmakers required all abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles, all abortions to take place in a surgical facility and all women seeking abortion-inducing medications to make four clinical visits. Those rules made it impossible for the clinics in Beaumont and McAllen to stay open, said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health. [LEFT]
