Section 2 of the bill creates a new Article 17 of the Public Health
Law (PHL), which establishes in statute affirmative reproductive
rights, specifically: (1) the fundamental right of every individual
to choose or refuse contraception, and (2) the fundamental right of
every female to determine the course of her pregnancy. Section 2 of
the bill further states that an abortion may be performed by a
qualified practitioner in the absence of fetal viability and at any
time when necessary to protects a female's life or health.

quote:

Section 2 of the bill also provides that the senate shall not deny,
regulate or restrict these fundamental tights, except by law,
regulation or policy that is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling
State interest or by a generally applicable law or regulation
governing matters such as practitioner licensing, pharmaceuticals and
medical devices, and medical procedures.

quote:

Section 2 additionally prohibits the State from discriminating against
the exercise of reproductive rights in the provision of benefits,
facilities, services, or information. Section 2 of the bill also
states that nothing contained in the new PHL Article 17 alters any
existing protections under state or federal law or regulation that
permit a health care provider to refrain from providing abortions due
to the provider's religious or moral belief.

quote:

Section 2 of the bill further sets forth certain definitions. In
particular, the bill defines fetal viability as the point in
pregnancy when, as determined by a physician or other qualified
practitioners acting in good faith in accordance with generally
accepted medical standards: (1) the gestational age of the fetus,
measured from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period, is
at least 24 weeks, and (2) there is a reasonable likelihood of the
fetus sustained survival outside the uterus without application of
extraordinary medical measures.

Again, how do the changes to New York Law, involve you paying for anything.

If you're subsidizing abortions, than everyone is supporting Catholic Child Rape, since they pay no taxes, and that money is used to rape children, right?

Mississippi is well on its way to closing its only abortion clinic.

And why do you think YOU are paying?

And yet, Mississippi still has one. And if Mississippi wants a clinic they can have one, and if they don't, they don't have to. Why are we talking about this like there's no alternative to abortion?

Ah. Your usual way of arguing. Consider yourself to have won, since I'm not going to answer your Catholic hating rants.

quote:

The Declaration of Independence enshrines three basic rights: the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The right to life is the only fundamental right, from which all other rights are derived. Abortion not only flies in the face of the only fundamental right but currently takes away the only fundamental right from an average of 3,300 each and every day. The extremists are abortion proponents.

And then there's the people who immediately go to "teabaggers" instead of being civil. So, in that case, also consider yourself to have won against my argument, as I can't answer someone who has already called me an unpleasant name.

Ok, I'll address you one more time. There is no need to retract. Abortions are paid for by way of Medicaid (medical assistance is what it's called here). My tax dollars go to medical assistance by way of the state. Federal dollars that go to "family planning" (a misleading term if there ever was) are used not directly for abortion, but they replace dollars spent elsewhere in the same building. They don't separate the abortion cotton swabs from the ear wax cotton swabs.

And now, I will let those of you who care to self congratulate over having chased out someone who thinks adoption is better than abortion have the room.

Qualified practitioner.. negates the belief that a case worker can perform one.

Sorry, but you can't suggest adoption as a solution until you've adopted.
