Can you imagine being a young girl, raped, now forced to retell the tale to law enforcement. Have you been to one of those interviews?

P12; getting really redundant - no abortion after 20 weeks without massive barriers and we don't care if the fetus is sick.

P13; tells women how to sue doctors...what women who has been through this will sue? Really?

P16; required reporting for minors/parental involvement. Puts both minors reporting & minor consensual sex partners @ risk.

Conclusion: repetitive, poorly written bill by people who do not care about women, babies, or reducing abortions.

The only nice thing I have to say about this bill is it was easier to read than the R attempt @ ACA repeal.
