Arizona governor signs three new abortion restrictions into law
Republican Arizona Governor Doug Doucey is doing the same thing other red state are doing: efforting a way to stop abortions.
Click here for reuse options!The signing of the bill, Senate Bill 1324, is likely to jump-start a federal court case that had blocked a previous version of the legislation. The bill bars doctors from prescribing the drug commonly known as RU-486 after seven weeks of pregnancy and requires it to be taken only at Food and Drug Administration-approved doses in effect until this week. It also requires the two doses of the drug to be taken at a clinic, while providers now send the patient home with the second pill to be taken days after the first…
Ducey also signed two other bills targeting abortion or abortion providers. One, Senate Bill 1474, bars abortion providers from transferring fetal tissue for use in research. Planned Parenthood’s Arizona affiliate said it doesn’t provide fetal tissue for research. The second, Senate Bill 1485, puts into law a ban on state employees directing charitable donations to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood Arizona through paycheck deduction. That ban was adopted by a board controlled by Ducey last year.

this cannot stay in tact. and the fricken nerve of them to tell anyone who they can donate their hard earned money to. and they sure as hell don’t give a damn about women’s health because they know damn well that abortions aren’t the only service they provide. i hate these people.

If they fought this hard for things that are actually illegal, maybe, we could move forward a little bit in this country!

Let’s face it. The GOP can’t control their own states, so they resort to restricting the rights of women.
Arizona is facing a $B deficit and is sharply cutting welfare to the poor. But, let’s not worry about that. Let’s focus on how we can better beat women into submission. What assholes!
