Wouldn't it be cheaper to simply convert an examination room in to a nursery, complete with stuffed animals, and bring the pregnant woman who is considering an abortion in to this room in the hopes that she may change her mind?
As the article states, the mandated tests that Bachman is proposing are medically unnecessary, invasive and rarely, if ever, change the woman's mind. The woman is already dealing with a myriad of emotions--do we really need to add guilt to that list? Do we really want to shame women in to carrying an unwanted child to term?
I am pro-choice. I do not believe in abortion as simply another form of birth control but do believe that it should be an option available to women.
