TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Women seeking abortions in Florida will be required to make two visits to a clinic, with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period in between, to end a pregnancy under a bill signed into law on Wednesday.

Republican Governor Rick Scott signed the measure, passed this spring by the Republican-controlled state legislature, without comment.

“This means women will be empowered to make fully informed decisions,” said Republican state Representative Jennifer Sullivan, who sponsored the legislation. "It’s just common courtesy to have a face-to-face conversation with your doctor about such an important decision — especially for such an irreversible procedure as an abortion.”

Opponents said it would unnecessarily burden women by creating a stressful waiting period and additional expense.

2. Does anyone on any side of this really believe this bull sh*t?

“This means women will be empowered to make fully informed decisions,” said Republican state Representative Jennifer Sullivan, who sponsored the legislation. "It’s just common courtesy to have a face-to-face conversation with your doctor about such an important decision — especially for such an irreversible procedure as an abortion.”

Empowers women? Common courtesy? They don't believe this stuff any more than we do.

I'd maybe have slightly more respect for them (if not their position) if they'd at least be honest.

Here's a quote if they were truthful:
"This means that women will be more fully hindered and harassed when they try to terminate a pregnancy. Especially when we've reduced the number of clinics to the point where for many women two visits mean hours of travel time or the cost of a night in a motel."

7. jennifer, you are an embarrassment to your sex. what you are saying is, that without your

intervention, women are too stupid, too clueless, too dense to come to rational decisions. you are a disgraceful, insulting water-carrier for the woman-haters. are you being well-paid to be a traitor?

8. George Carlin said it best.......

Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.
