Dear ProLife Colleague, The Philadelphia episode re: Kermit Gosnell’s “house of horrors” abortion clinic showed the unbelievable depths of slovenly degradation an abortion clinic can sink to unless regulations are in place and are enforced. 23 states currently have in place regulations that set abortion clinic standards. 7 more have regulations passed but on hold due to legal challenge. Well, make that 24 and 6. See Below. And as a result of this court decision, Planned Parenthood dropped a pending lawsuit against Arizona, as they read the handwriting on the wall. More on that later. Liberty Counsel Read this Liberty Alert online at www.LC.org August 15, 2011 Arizona’s New Abortion Regulations Upheld by Court of Appeals The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld new abortion regulations which require any woman seeking an abortion to meet face-to-face with the licensed physician performing the abortion at least 24 hours prior to the abortion. The law also requires that parental consent forms be notarized in order for a minor to get an abortion. Health care providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, may refuse to participate in abortions, provide contraceptives, or give out the so-called “morning after pill” if they have moral or religious objections. The law also prohibits anyone who is not a licensed physician from performing an abortion. The law includes chemical abortions, such as the abortion regimen RU-486, which means that nurse practitioners will no longer be permitted to perform any type of abortion. Arizona is one of many states in recent months to pass common sense regulations on abortion. This history of abortion on demand will one day be remembered as the worst chapter in American history. The Supreme Court’s abortion decision in 1973 betrayed the Constitution by distorting it into something unrecognizable.
