Bill requires women to recite Gettysburg Address while hopping on one foot 24 hours before abortion

Gov. FuckStick McGee

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/os-abortion-waiting-period-bill-20150610-story.html

Women in Florida will have to wait 24 hours and make at least two appointments before getting an abortion under a bill that Gov. Rick Scott signed into law Wednesday.

HB 633 includes exceptions for victims of rape, incest, domestic violence and human trafficking, but those seeking abortions must provide proof of those situations with a police report or medical documents.

"We are blessed in the state of Florida to have a governor that stands for life," said Rep. Jennifer Sullivan, R-Mount Dora, who sponsored the bill.

The waiting period "will empower women across our state to make an informed decision on this life-changing procedure,'' she added.

Also from the article:
"The importance of this bill is to give women an opportunity to reflect on a major decision that they are about to undertake — a major medical procedure that will have lifelong effects, not just physically but mentally as well," said Sen. Anitere Flores, a Miami Republican who sponsored the Senate version."

Really? Do women just wake up and decide on the spur of the moment to have an abortion?

These people simply cannot admit that they wish to impose their own beliefs on everyone. The Constitution be damned.
