  • Title: Clinic defense, parental involvement focus of state abortion debates.
    Author: Sollom T.
    Journal: State Reprod Health Monit; 1995 Apr; 6(1):1-2. PubMed ID: 12289004.
    Abstract:
    Although twice as many restrictive abortion bills as abortion rights bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year, there are indications that anti-abortion violence has produced a backlash of concern with protecting services, property, and lives at abortion facilities. By the end of the first quarter of 1995, 213 abortion-related bills had been introduced in 43 states. Over half these bills seek to restrict access through mandatory parental consent or notification for minors, longer waiting periods, and public funding prohibitions. Most successful appear to be those concerning parental notification. A quarter seek to preserve access to abortion or impose stiff criminal penalties for anti-abortion protesters who threaten abortion services. The remaining quarter are nonspecific. To date, nonbinding resolutions condemning clinic violence have been adopted in Michigan, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. The only bill passed prohibits physicians' assistants from performing abortions in Montana.
