Well, in California it’s abortion for all, by all.
Nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants could perform a type of early abortion under a bill approved Monday by the state Senate, leaving the measure one step from the governor.
The measure by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, would let those medical professionals perform what are known as aspiration abortions during the first trimester. The method involves inserting a tube and using suction to terminate a pregnancy.
That is, if by “terminate a pregnancy” you mean “ripping a developing baby apart limb from limb”.
I think that HotAir has just the right amount of snarkiness when discussing this topic:
Remember, of course, that this is all about women’s health.

While the legislature is at it, why not allow midwives to do liposuction, too? After all, a liposuction only removes fat, not a “clump of cells,” as some would have it, and that fat doesn’t get removed from an internal organ susceptible to perforation. Liposuction gets pricy for the working class, so it’s not really fair that only a doctor can suction fat out of a body. Yet in 2011, California was identified as one of the five toughest states for regulating outpatient cosmetic surgery centers
Lila Rose, quoted in the HotAir article, makes some good points, too:
In what other realm of business does this bizarre standard pass muster? Do you let a butcher build your house because you ‘deserve access to’ a carpenter? Do you let a nurse do your bypass surgery because you ‘deserve access to’ a cardiologist? Nowhere else does ‘we really need it, therefore let unqualified people do it’ make sense – and the mentality doesn’t make sense here, either. In fact, it’s downright dangerous.
In the wake of Kermit Gosnell, in whose abortion facility a woman died from an untrained staff member’s mistake, it’s unthinkable for lawmakers in California to push a law like this. How many more times will my home state carry water for this unregulated industry which makes its money off of the vulnerable moments of women and by murdering pre-born children?
If this doesn’t expose the “women’s health” argument for prolific abortion “services,” I don’t know what will.
