KSDK NewsChannel 5 - News Article Judge To Block Missouri Abortion Law
" A federal judge says he will temporarily block a new Missouri law that would require physicians to wait 24 hours after consulting women before performing abortions.

His clerk says Senior U.S. District Judge Scott Wright plans to issue the temporary restaining order Friday. That's one day before the law was to have taken effect.

Wright held a closed telephone conference call earlier today with attorneys for the state and Planned Parenthood affiliates."

And what is the harm in having a waiting period?? I know many states have this law already. I tell you what the harm is. Loss of business for Abortion Providers like Planned Parenthood. Many women without the pressure of doing it here or now and getting it done quick, will rethink this choice and the ones who are set on doing it, what is wrong with waiting one more day? A choice is when you have all the facts and decide from those facts what is best for you. If you don't have the facts how can make an informed choice? Sadly these places do not give Women all the facts or even discuss alt. cuz that would be loss of business. And that is what it is all about for these places, money. Money to provide the service and money for the sale of the parts left behind. That is the bottom line, not women's health.

  1. I agree with you. I have been to Planned Parenthood and they provided me with birth control pills and nothing more. No counselling on rethinking sex at the young age I was. They should have group meetings there for young women to share their experiences and support each other and talk about what's best for them. I have an entry on abortion in my journal you might like to read.
