It is odd that progressives argue for keeping women ignorant.
It is no attack on the women of Idaho, or anywhere else, to ensure that they are provided with all the information they need to make fully informed decisions when it comes to their health care. This essential concept is known as informed consent. Women must have access to the information they need to make medical decisions. That right to information extends to abortion decisions.
I am glad to have Rep. Caroline Nilsson Troy vote yes on any legislation that protects women’s rights to fully informed consent.
Abortion is a multi-million dollar industry in our country, and a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. Soon to outpace surgical abortions, extremely profitable chemical abortions require that additional information be provided to ensure informed consent. Chemical abortions – a two-step process, which the woman completes at home – can, within a proper time frame, be reversed. This is documented not just by hundreds of live births, but the protocol appears in peer-reviewed studies as well. A similar medical process has been used successfully for years to help stop miscarriages.
The letter from Latah County progressive icon and former Rep. Shirley Ringo seemed to be a smear attempt against Troy, based only on political expediency, not on the facts.
