If you dive inti the text of the bill, it becomes apparent that it's so much more than just a full term abortion law. It also effectively allows for post birth abortion,  and removes medical qualifications for those people who perform abortions.

It's now harder to be a tattoo artist in NY than perform an abortion.

Is this what we want? [/quote]

Did not bother to read the link yet although I probably will check, but the reasoning seems pretty damned obvious:

In order to perform an abortion, surgical or medication, one must be a licensed medical provider, which means one is subject to all the training, licensing, etc requirements and in addition any facility is subject to such requirements.

So if you think this is irrational policy, let me ask: would you prefer your child's tonsils be removed by a tattoo artist or an MD? Since a tattoo artist is subject, you know, to more stringent regulation? [/quote]

Can we please drop the BS tattoo artist comparison? Midwives have stringent education, examination and licensure requirements in New York State. The link has been posted multiple times. These are not Duggar-style CPMs in Arkansas. Midwives in New York are licensed and permitted to deliver babies, which is a hell of a lot more dangerous for a woman than abortion. Yet no one seems to have a problem with that.[/quote]
