Note to Barry: If you really want to reduce abortions, like you told the Pope, THIS is how you do it. For the first time in years, pro-life legislation in Arizona has taken three major steps forward as Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Monday signed into law a comprehensive reform of state statutes regulating abortion. Amongst other things, the regulations will guarantee new conscience protections for hospitals and medical professionals opposed to abortion and abortifacient contraception. The overhaul of abortion law also replaces the term "fetus" with "unborn child" and stipulates that only a licensed physician may perform a surgical abortion.
Gov. Jan Brewer signed the Abortion Consent Act (HB 2564) along with two other pro-life bills on Monday, her last day to affix her signature as Governor before the bills passed by both houses of the state legislature automatically become law. The Arizona legislature had crafted HB 2564 to address the principle concerns that the law needed to better guarantee the rights of women to make a fully-informed decision free of coercion before consenting to abortion.
