So often the pro-choice ideology is that pro-lifers are \u201canti-woman.\u201d\u00a0 If this were the case, we wouldn\u2019t be pushing for legislation that would protect women, even if she is obtaining an abortion.\u00a0 To be pro-life encompasses being pro-woman as well, and includes wishing no harm upon those who support, obtain, or profit from abortions. Back to the Washington Post:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The draft regulations, released by the Virginia Department of Health on Aug. 26, apply only to abortion clinics, out of all the health facilities in the commonwealth, and cover everything from the handling of medical records to requirements for covered entrances. They would regulate these clinics as if they were outpatient surgical hospitals that perform much riskier and more invasive procedures.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMuch riskier and more invasive procedures?\u201d I can\u2019t think of many other procedures more invasive than an abortion. The \u201csafe, legal, and rare\u201d mantra touted by pro-choicers has only held pursued in one aspect: its legality.\u00a0 Abortion isn\u2019t just lethal for unborn children, but it can be physically dangerous (not just in regards to immediate complications, but long-term ones like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abortionbreastcancer.com\" target=\"_blank\">increased chances of getting breast cancer<\/a>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-2032431\/Women-abortions-face-double-risk-mental-health-problems.html?ito=feeds-newsxml&amp;sf2114563=1\" target=\"_blank\">emotionally and mentally devastating <\/a>to women as well.\u00a0 (And, obviously, the fact that over 1,200,000 abortions are performed in America each year kind of squashes the \u201crare\u201d aspect of it.)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>And they would for the first time require existing abortion clinics to meet guidelines meant only for new construction; in the past, when adopting new regulations for physical structures, the commonwealth typically established different standards for existing structures and for new construction. Not so here, which means that abortion clinics could be forced to engage in all manner of expensive renovations that have nothing to do with safety, including the widening of hallways and the enlargement of examination rooms.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The new regulations were mandated by emergency legislation adopted by the General Assembly last winter. No justification has been given for such fast-track treatment. Abortions are among the safest of medical procedures.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here it seems like the main issue the Washington Post has is the expenses of abiding by these safety regulations.\u00a0 If regulations to be implicated which would protect women would cost them money, have no doubt that they are going to fight the regulations.\u00a0 And no, abortion isn\u2019t one of the \u201csafest of medical procedures.\u201d As I stated earlier, women who obtain them are more susceptible to breast cancer and mental and emotional health problems.\u00a0 Of course, the abortion industry is going to vehemently try to push those findings under the rug.\u00a0 It\u2019s bad for business if people figure it out.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Virginia\u2019s Department of Health does not keep track of complications associated with the 25,000 or so abortions performed in the commonwealth each year. But the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit think tank that focuses on reproductive health and supports legal abortion, reports that less than one-half of 1\u2009percent of all abortions performed in the country result in complications and require follow-up medical treatment. The abortion clinics targeted by the Virginia legislation perform only first\u00ad trimester abortions \u2014 the safest of all procedures.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, this is interesting.\u00a0 Since Virginia\u2019s Department of Health doesn\u2019t keep records of abortion complications, Washington Post refers to Planned Parenthood\u2019s own research arm, the AGI, to back up its claim that abortion is.\u00a0 In reality, the Washington Post admits that it actually has no idea if the abortion procedures provided in Virginia were really \u201csafe\u201d because the complications of the abortions <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">aren\u2019t even tracked by the state!<\/span>\u00a0 How convenient. Why isn\u2019t the pro-choice lobby fighting to keep women safe by demanding all states report abortion complications?<em><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The 15-member Board of Health is expected to vote on the proposed regulations Sept. 15. Some of the provisions are sensible, including those governing the maintenance of health records and requiring a physician to be on the premises when a woman is put under general anesthesia \u2014 a rarity with first-trimester abortions. But it should reject the new building requirements.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Regulatory shenanigans and legal sleight of hand should not be used to undermine Virginia women\u2019s constitutionally protected rights by shuttering facilities that have been safely providing such services for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I\u2019ll ask: how can the Washington Post know if the state of Virginia has \u201cbeen safely providing such services for decades\u201d when they admit that complications from abortion procedures <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">aren\u2019t even reported<\/span>?\u00a0 I wonder what we\u2019d find if Virginia suddenly started investigating the clinics in the state&#8230; For all we know, there could be another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/04\/11\/doctors-failed-to-report-kermit-gosnells-botched-abortions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kermit Gosnell butchering born children and killing women<\/a> in a clinic in Virginia because he knows complications conveniently aren\u2019t reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a recent article from the Washington Post, which epitomized the notion that the abortion lobby wants abortion laws as liberal as possible,\u00a0to the point of\u00a0opposing\u00a0safety regulations that could potentially save women\u2019s lives: IF SOMETHING about anti-abortion advocates pressing for \u201csafer\u201d abortion clinics rings false to you, trust your instincts.
