Proud to be an Arizonan

House Bill #2416 is supposed to be on Governor Jan Brewer's desk which means that it will be signed in the not too distant future. Why do I make such claims about the future of the bill? Jan Brewer is pro-life and has a voting record to prove it.

So what does this bill do?  This bill will require all women seeking the RU-486 pill to get it from a doctor.  This pill can no longer be administered by nurse practitioner or medical staff. Bryan Howard, CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona, stated that if this bill goes into effect Planned Parenthood will not have doctors in the rural areas and it will also delay women seeking abortions in Tucson and Phoenix.  The bill also asks that women are asked if they would like to see the ultrasound and heartbeat before the abortion.

This bill seeks to treat the RU-486 pill like a surgical abortion.  The RU-486 pill induces a miscarriage.


There are still two bills that are about taxpayer funding of abortions that are currently on the Arizona Senate floor.

More updates to come.
