Michigan legislators use women’s health as a bargaining chip ahead of primary deadline

House vote on ‘abortion coercion’ bills held to appease Right to Life. Supporters of choice have been wondering when the other shoe was going to drop on the deceptive anti-choice “abortion coercion” bills that passed out of the House Judiciary Committee in September 2015.

Although seven in 10 Americans support a woman’s right to choose, anti-abortion legislators, lobbyists and extremists will stop at nothing — not a shooting spree, […]

Medical students and legislators push to keep politicians out of healthcare decisions

Lawmakers don’t belong in the exam room, especially when they’re legislating against safe, legal procedures.

Instead, they’d rather keep wasting taxpayer resources and harassing patients seeking legal healthcare services. As Chris […]
