FL GOP Lawmaker Tries to Force a 24 Hour Waiting Period for Abortion

Depite studies that say waiting periods pose excessive emotional and financial harm, our teabag legislature is set to do just that. State Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Miami) introduced the bill to force a 24 hour waiting period for an abortion.

This despite the fact that waiting periods, counseling sessions, and mandatory TRANSVAGINAL PENETRATION ultrasounds have proven that do nothing to sway a women’s decision to terminate a pregnancy. These grotesque, emotionally manipulative and very unnecessary medical procedures are the antithesis of the teabag mantra of getting the government out of healthcare. However, forcing a woman to endure a humiliating procedure or a pointless delay out of spite isn't about changing minds but more of a twisted punishment for not subscribing to a backwater ideology.
