Others don't just blame pro-lifers, but all Christians (even though, obviously, not all pro-lifers are Christians and not all Christians are pro-life, but hey, it's ok for people of conscience to stereotype sometimes right?).
The president of Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains, for example, said a "negative environment" around Planned Parenthood contributed to the attack. Many supporters of Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, began to advance the argument that the political attacks on Planned Parenthood were in part responsible for the actions of the gunmen, whose motives and affiliations are still largely unclear. This weekend, after a gunman walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado to kill people and take hostages, the president specifically singled out the killing of a police officer as a tragedy. Last month, Chris Christie one-upped the rhetoric by claiming President Obama was encouraging "lawlessness" and not supporting law enforcement officials. " Black lives matter is a murder movement," the refrain goes. Critics argued the reform movement created a hostile environment for cops-one that leads to violence against them. Arizona’s law is scheduled to take effect 3 July.Since last year, when the Black Lives Matter police reform movement first coalesced, it has been blamed by police apologists and critics of the movement for a number of police killings. “Women who have began a chemical abortion process and change their minds, for whatever reason, should not have their baby stolen from them because Planned Parenthood, or any abortionist, withheld potentially life-saving facts,” said Josh Kredit, the center’s general counsel and vice-president of policy.Īrizona was the first state to pass such a law, and Arkansas followed suit in April. The Center for Arizona Policy, which supports the legislation, attacked Planned Parenthood for bringing the lawsuit, and accused the organization of trying to shield “vital information” from women. In response to to the Arizona legislation, ACOG said in a fact sheet: “Claims of medication abortion reversal are not supported by the body of scientific evidence.”
The first drug, mifepristone, ends pregnancies in 50%-70% of cases, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Women having medical abortions typically take two drugs over the course of a few days. In too many states across the country, legislators are pushing laws that are opposed by leading medical organizations for the sole purpose of shutting down women’s health centers and stopping a woman from getting an abortion.” “Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated instance. “Extreme legislators are so focused on preventing a woman from getting an abortion that they will completely ignore the medical experts and hide behind bad medicine,” said Jennifer Dalven, director of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project.
But it was amended to include the controversial provision that requires doctors and abortion providers in Arizona to give women seeking the procedure “information on and assistance with reversing the effects of a medication abortion is available on the department of health services’ website”. The thrust of the law is to ban insurers from covering abortions under plans sold through the federal health exchange created by the Affordable Care Act. “This law should never have passed, and we’re asking the court to stop it from going into effect.”
“This reckless law forces doctors to lie to their patients, and it puts women’s health at risk,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The lawsuit, brought by Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights, argues that compelling doctors to provide this information against their best medical judgement, with “extreme consequences” for non-compliance, is a violation of their first amendment rights.
