pregnancy for minors. (Why you wouldn't find that offensive is beyond my understanding.) Here's the rest of it:


Women’s Right to Know
Any women’s health center or clinic that
provides pregnancy counseling or abortion
services must provide accurate information
on abortion and the adverse side effects to a
woman’s health. Patients do not have to
accept the materials if they do not want
them.

Provide Ultrasound Equipment
Provide grants to nonprofit, tax-exempt
organizations for the purchase of ultrasound
equipment to provide free examinations to
pregnant women needing such services. This
equipment will be operated by licensed
professionals.

Parental Notification
Prohibit transporting a minor across a state
line to obtain an abortion. Makes an exception
if the abortion was necessary to save
the life of the minor.
Requires states that have parental notification
to inform parents of state statutory
rape laws.

If Democrats for Life was SERIOUS about reducing abortion they'd put forward a bill including:
1. Universal Health Care
2. Equal pay for work of comparable value
3. Required proportional legislative representation

But it's so much easier to moralize than to do something concrete. This is NOT an innocuous bill. It is one intended to intimidate women into following a religiously-prescribed path in life, and offers not one iota of substance to support them.
