According to the article, Indiana just passed a law in which doctors will have to tell patients about "abortion pill reversal." Essentially based on faulty evidence and one poorly conducted study, there is now a law that doctors must tell women that if they change their minds after taking the first abortion pill (mifepristone) in the 72 hours before taking the second (misoprostol) that their abortion can be reversed. WTF?!?
I think we need to remember this:
“People make informed decisions in their own pregnancies,” said Adams. “They don’t need more time, they don’t need ultrasounds, they don’t need lies about health risks, and they don’t need outs like this to save them from their own decisions. They need safe, reliable healthcare that is private.”
I don't know how this can be legal!? How can legislators actually believe this and pass it as a law. It just makes me wonder ... by their standards, women aren't "capable" or "competent" enough to make decision for themselves, and yet these male legislators insist on making laws and decisions for women based on faulty research. Seems to me they aren't competent enough to read a simple research study. Remind me, how did they get their degrees exactly?
