So Where is NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen on The Federal Effort To Overturn State Laws on Abortion? (Part II)

Senator Shaheen has sided with Kermit Gosnell (and his ilk) as one of several co-sponsors to S.1696, a bill designed to undo by federal fiat any state law that defines when life begins or attempts to regulate the abortion industry or abortion providers.   State’s can’t be trusted.  Only distant Federal ‘experts’ and their bureaucratic minions shall handle such matters.

Here are a few prohibitions S. 1696 would place on states…

SEC. 4. PROHIBITED MEASURES AND ACTIONS.

(a) General Prohibitions- The following limitations or requirements are unlawful and shall not be imposed or applied by any government because they single out the provision of abortion services for restrictions that are more burdensome than those restrictions imposed on medically comparable procedures, they do not significantly advance women’s health or the safety of abortion services, and they make abortion services more difficult to access:

(1) A requirement that a medical professional perform specific tests or follow specific medical procedures in connection with the provision of an abortion, unless generally required for the provision of medically comparable procedures.

(2) A limitation on an abortion provider’s ability to delegate tasks, other than a limitation generally applicable to providers of medically comparable procedures.

(3) A limitation on an abortion provider’s ability to prescribe or dispense drugs based on her or his good-faith medical judgment, other than a limitation generally applicable to the medical profession.

(4) A limitation on an abortion provider’s ability to provide abortion services via telemedicine, other than a limitation generally applicable to the provision of medical services via telemedicine.

(5) A requirement or limitation concerning the physical plant, equipment, staffing, or hospital transfer arrangements of facilities where abortions are performed, or the credentials or hospital privileges or status of personnel at such facilities, that is not imposed on facilities or the personnel of facilities where medically comparable procedures are performed.

(6) A requirement that, prior to obtaining an abortion, a woman make one or more medically unnecessary visits to the provider of abortion services or to any individual or entity that does not provide abortion services.

(7) A requirement or limitation that prohibits or restricts medical training for abortion procedures, other than a requirement or limitation generally applicable to medical training for medically comparable procedures.

There is more but it is actually a very short piece of legislation. You can read the bill here, to see what else is in it.

 

I wrote about this a few weeks back but did not have bill text.

And do not forget that Jeanne Shaheen’s single biggest donor is the abortion lobby, at $1,800,000.00 dollars so far.  Of that most is from EMILY’s List, which demands abortion all the way to birth.  A large majority of American’s object to abortion after 20 weeks, and a super majority object to live birth abortion, which Shaheen supports and which this legislation would permit.

Senator Shaheen’s position is way outside the main-stream, but 1.8 million gets you certain guarantees from your bought and paid for Senator from New Hampshire.  Supporting S.1696 is one of them.
