Those Relentless Wingnuts

From Mouse Words:

Republican Representative Ann Rydalch wants the state (Idaho) to require doctors to show women pictures of a fetus before an abortion. But her legislation may not be supported by all of the state's anti-abortion groups.

Rydalch's bill also would force doctors to give women information about abortion alternatives, and tell them that abortion could increase the risk for breast cancer. The National Institutes of Health denies any link between abortion and breast cancer, however.


Can't they just leave the right to chose alone? Roe v. Wade was decided years ago, why do they have to keep messin' with it?

How can they even suggest showing a woman a picture of a almost-developed fetus, rather than an embryo the size of a blueberry or grape, that she currently has, AND tell her she's gonna get breast cancer?

Women that are going through the struggle of an unwanted pregnancy need the truth and understanding and compassion, not a host of wingnuttery and lies.
