North Carolina Will Make You Wait For That Abortion Until You Realize You Don’t Want It

It's for your own good!

Chicks, amirite? So hormonal and impulsive and never knowing what they really want. That’s why they are lucky to have the North Carolina General Assembly to protect them from making bad decisions, with HB 465 — a bill to extend the state’s 24-hour waiting period for abortions to 72 hours, which passed on Thursday. Because really, is one day enough time to realize you don’t want to kill your baby? Probably not.

State Rep. Jacqueline Schaffer (R-As if you didn’t know), one of the bill’s sponsors, explained this week why it’s so important to make women wait even longer for a legal medical procedure:
“We see waiting periods all throughout areas of our society in the medical context as well as in the real estate context, in the, you know, issues relating to marriage,” Schaffer insisted. “The poorest decisions that we make are the ones that we make under pressure and on impulse and so we want to ensure that women have ample amount of time to receive that information so that they can make the best decision.”

And if you get a cooling-off period when you buy a house, which is basically the same thing, why shouldn’t you be required to have a cooling-off period before you have an abortion? You know, a longer one than the state already mandates. Not to mention the fact that most women have probably already done a “waiting period,” IN THEIR OWN BRAINS, before they go to the clinic!

Besides, she added, this bill isn’t about making it harder for women to exercise their legal rights. No, it’s about EMPOWERING them, with GRRRRRL POWER, yay feminism!
“We believe we have come to a decision on this language that really does empower women and promotes the health and safety of women as they are making these important decisions,” she added. “So we believe that this is truly a bill that those that are both pro-life and pro-choice can get behind.”

As always, these “pro-lifers” are just lookin’ out for the ladies, making sure abortion is real safe because they looooooooove women, especially the dumb ones who don’t know how to make the right decisions about whether to have babies. (The right decision is always to have that baby, you dumb whore.)

Medical Procedure to them? There cannot BE a waiting period (changer her mind?) with an ectopic because time is of the essence. Maybe they WANT the fallopian tube to rupture so there will be no abortion? If so, that is horrific.
