The Republican war on women proves that the GOP are officially wankers

Louisiana's legislature voted unanimously to pass a law called the "Forced Abortion Prevention Sign Act," which, reinforces the already existing 24-hour waiting period before obtaining an abortion, as well as the requirement that abortion providers give their patients a state published pamphlet filled with the blatantly untrue "facts" about abortion, including the repeatedly debunked myth that it might cause cancer. It also requires medical facilities providing abortions to post a large notice (16 inches by 20inches) stating the following

Notice: Women�s Rights and Pregnancy Resources You can�t be forced.
* It is unlawful for an abortion to be forced on you without your voluntary and informed consent, regardless of your age.
* You and the father. The father of your child is liable to assist in the support of the child, even if he has offered to pay for an abortion.
* You and adoption. The law permits adoptive parents to pay costs of prenatal care, childbirth and newborn care.
* You are not alone. Many public and private agencies are willing to help you to carry your child to term, and to assist after your child�s birth

1. I'd be fine with the pamphlet if:

1) Corrections were made for accuracy and

2) A corresponding pamphlet was distributed in women's health centers, anti-abortion "counseling" centers, hospitals, waiting rooms of OB/GYNs that advised:

* It is unlawful for an pregnancy to be forced on you without your voluntary and informed consent, regardless of your age.

* You are not alone. Many public and private healthcare agencies are willing to offer you safe, confidential, and affordable medical care if you choose to terminate your pregnancy.

2. This one is the biggest lie.

"You are not alone. Many public and private agencies are willing to help you to carry your child to term, and to assist after your child�s birth"

As Republicans are busy closing all those facilities.
