Again if the prochoicers wish abortion to be safe, why do the oppose the 24 hour wait period? Before any surgery that is not an emergency, the patient is presented with all the facts, including what the risk factors that might occur from the procedure.
If the supposedly pro-life folks wish to protect their children, then why should they be given the opportunity to coerce their children into remaining pregnant?

And, if a pregnant woman is to be given the "facts" about abortion, shouldn't they also be given the "facts" about continuing a pregnancy?

After all, arguable and demostratively, continuing a pregnancy is far more dangerous to a woman's health and a greater risk to her life than having an abortion early in the pregnancy...especially more so for a teen-aged woman.
