Abotion regulations
 

As a young woman I had the terrible misforture of discovering a woman who had an illegal abortion.  She had it after her husband pushed her down the stairs in an effort to make her abort.  It didn't work so she went to another older woman who attempted to abort the baby with a hanger.  When I found her she was bleeding to death.  She lived and the baby died.  

I am imploring you to not attempt to put us back into the same situation by causing delay in legal abortions.  No woman has an abortion frivolously.  We know it is a serious and difficult decision.  We don't need you to put up roadblocks.  

Your time and resources would be better spent in preventing pregnancies.  Get to work on MEN to behave responsibly and prevent pregnancies.  AND, if you think every child is wanted then look at the states adoption registry and adopt a child who needs a home.

VOTE NO ON THIS LEGISLATION, PLEASE.
