the 24 hour waiting period is clearly an effort to get some women to change their mind about an abortion, but it still doesn't really bother me. Most people go to a doctor, get info, then wait before they have the surgery. This isn't any different in that respect. If a woman needs an emergency abortion I feel pretty confident the doctor will perform it.

The thing I don't like about this bill is the fact that they eliminated the opportunity for a guardian or grandparent to approve of the abortion. A girl shouldn't have to ask her father who raped her to approve her abortion. They also should have left in the exemption for victims of rape or incest. This is really bad legislation from that aspect.
