Q: Governor Signs Anti-abortion Law

asked by: paganangel on October 6th, 2005

Governor matt blunt signed legislation thursday that immediately restricts access to abortion in missouri.

Just after 2:00 pm thursday afternoon, it became impossible to get a legal abortion in springfield.

"i'm sad. I'm very sad for the women of this area," said michelle turner-collins with the springfield healthcare center.

The new law requires physicians who perform abortions to have clinical privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. The st. Louis doctor that annually performs about 1,500 abortions here does not have those privileges.

The facility's administrator says the change will force women to travel three to four hours to get an abortion, or take desperate measures.

"i was sickened yesterday when a patient told me that financially she couldn't afford to drive columbia, st. Louis, or kansas city," turner-collins said. "and she said, I will probably take matters into my own hands."

dave plemmons with missouri right to life said, "they're always talking about safe and legal. Well, it's legal but abortion is not safe."

missouri right to life says this will not only reduce the number of abortions, but require clinics to become more accountable for a woman's health after the procedure.

"you've got a fly in or drive in and go back out. What happens when a woman has infections or she's bleeding? No one's there to pick up the pieces," said plemmons.

Because the bill was passed with an emergency clause, it goes into effect immediately. Women who had abortions scheduled for as early as monday cannot have that procedure done.

The director of springfield's clinic has filed for clinical privileges at one of the hospitals here, but there's no telling whether it will be granted.

They should have thought about the consequences first.. What if abortion was never founded then what would they have done?????

He does not care very much about an unwanted pregnancy, is this guy against women, against choice, does he not think abortion will still not happen, bs, it happened before when women were pregnant and some were butchered, he obviously does not care

that's right tazzy! Tell us all about how you want pregnancy to be a punishment for non procreational sex! How pro child of you!!!!

They will be using coat hangers, having their boyfriends beat the shit out of them, etc to end these unwanted pregnancies. Guess your filthy kind doesn't care about that.

first off... They should choose there significant other wisely.. 2nd off they shouldnt be having sex or playing house if you would if they dont want to except the cosequences that come with it.. And on the other note.. I have 3 girls that I am raising.. So it is all up to the parenting and the childrens choice that they make. But I am a mother so if my children get into trouble I will be right there for them.. And to answer your question I am not dirty.. I am very clean and open minded. If you are going to judge me you have to do better than this

Back to the freakin subject...

I also feel sorry for the people of missouri. It is a step backwards in human rights.

Oh, did I say human rights? Yeah, I did. human,not just women. Because abortions affect the men too, husbands, boyfriends, fathers...

One note that is women-oriented:

we should have the right to have sex and not get pregnant; men have that right, why can't we?! If a young girl is raped, she should have the right to live out her childhood, her teens, the way she should live them, not have it ruined by rape!

Or incest, or anything else, they should be given a choice. Their is too many of you that do not remember what happened before abortion was made legal, yes, women used coathangers, their were backstreet butcherers having a choice does not mean that we have to have an abortion.
When those sheets get ragged, you get rid of them, and a roach is not a person so try to tell children the truth... If my older kids needed me, I would be there for them too, but I would not intrude. My kids know that I am open minded that is why they talk to me as a friend more than a parent, and tazzyd I have probably helped raise more than you,so get off your high and mighty kick because I will lay you odds I am older and have seen and done much more than you will ever see or do.
If someone wants to have sex, they will have sex, responsible or not all you can do is to hand them a few condoms and hope by gosh they use them, and their is a lot that will not use them, I know, ideal with these peole all the time, give them inffo about free b/c, but as long as we can help one out of 12 it is great, yet sad!

you are the most ignorant thing I have come accross in a long time, ever read any posts by tazzy? Doubt it or you'd know she has had an abortion before so I don't think she would force anything on her precious children that they didn't want. Look before you blab your big a$s mouth.

what has that got to do with it? For some of us, we never want children, no matter *who* we are partnered with.

yes! I agree entirely. I feel, right now, that I never want children. However, I don't know if i'll always feel this way, and thus I won't get my tubes tied. I'm only 20 for god's sake!

your right, it really shouldn't have to be for people who don't want babies. But since we don't live in that perfect world, it unfortunetly is.
There are consequences for having sex without protection. There are consequences for not educating yourself about ovualtion and when your more likely to get pregnant. There are consequences for having sex when your not ready for potential outcomes.

and those consequences are:

pregnancy to term, and keeping or sending out for adoption, or abortion.
