30. They're hoping to put the remaining abortion providers out of business
Wed Feb 6, 2013, 08:19 PM
Feb 2013

with the reduction of abortions due to women going out of state, and with the extra expenses this would incur for facilities and women.

Interesting, that the "it won't do any good to try" argument makes sense to the gun lovers, when this won't stop any abortions, it will just send many of them out of state.

Funny how they'll pass this anyway, even though it "won't do any good."

And in Michigan it will pass :( erinlough Feb 2013 #1
