New Strategy to Outlaw Abortion from the Extreme Right

The July 20th edition of the PBS news program NOW, we got a glimpse into the new strategy of the extreme right in their short-sighted attempt to outlaw abortion — use post-abortion politics to claim it "hurts" women. There's no scientific proof for this, and in fact, the science shows just the opposite — women are relieved and go on to be happy and healthy.

This hasn't stopped their push in this direction (when has science ever been something religious extremists listen to?). In fact, they have found a VERY small minority of women to speak out on this issue through TV, Radio and the web. But, what’s even more disturbing, and downright frightening is that they've got Supreme Court Justice Kennedy quoting them in his rulings! This is the most chilling development around this issue in history!

So, let's see. No basis in science, proof of the opposite effect, in other words, legislating lies — with the help of the Supreme Court.

We encourage all citizens to educate themselves about this frightening new deception by watching the NOW program to learn the details, and then take action. We must stop these lies from being sold as facts. To access the NOW program on-line, go to http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/329/index.html. There you will be able to watch or read the transcript.
