FINALLY, after 10 years Texas state officials have decided to update the informational material that women have the right to know! (A pamphlet that is required by law to be given to women prior to an abortion.)
The pamphlet goes over medical information and research on how pregnancy and abortion affects a woman's body. The book contains medical inaccuracies and information that is not backed up by data according to Kimberley Carter, an Austin physician and president of the Texas Association of Obstetrician and Gynecologists.
The pamphlet subtly hints at fetuses feeling pain when women are getting an abortion: "in consideration of the potential for fetal pain, Texas law currently limits abortion to under 20 weeks"
The pamphlet also suggests that women receiving abortions have a higher risk of getting breast cancer, when many studies have shown that cancer and abortions are not linked.
Quite frankly, I don't think Texas Officials medical knowledge is up to par, I mean,
why not hire someone who is a member of TAOG (Texas Association of Obstetrician and Gynecologists) to write the pamphlet?
Isn't it a woman's right to know?
Women DO have the right to be knowledgeable on their own bodies and should be able to make decisions that affect their own future.
What do you think about this?
