Women were given "anesthesia" by a teenager, instruments weren't kept sterile, and Gosnell carried out shoddy abortion procedures. Women contracted diseases, became infertile, and died at his clinic. Infants were born alive and then had their spines severed with scissors to complete the abortion.
What decade were these horrors happening? 1970s? No. 1980s-2000s. Present day. Under the nose of two different state administrations (both governors were pro-abortion).
How are abortion clinics kept safer than before abortion was legal? Through regulations. However, the abortion industry is less regulated than nail salons. They don't come under any of the safety provisions as any other surgical facility in the state. Don't women deserve better care?
Senate Bill 732 will give Pennsylvania women the protection they deserve from men like Gosnell. But the abortion industry claims abortions are safer without it. That this will endanger women more than help them. Abortion clinics fight safety regulations with passion. And claim to support women's health. False.
Time to pass Senate Bill 732. Women in 2011 deserve better!
