EVERY LEGISLATOR SHOULD WATCH A FULL ABORTION PROCEDURE BEFORE VOTING
EVERY LEGISLATOR SHOULD WATCH A FULL ABORTION PROCEDURE BEFORE VOTING
Why this petition matters
Given that 48% of the U.S. population identifies as pro-life (over 120 million adults) and 78% consider third trimester and partial birth abortions to be unethical (over 196 million adults), it seems reasonable to require every legislator that will vote on an abortion-related bill to watch a full abortion procedure before voting (from start to finish, including post-procedure disposal).
For example, if the bill is related to second-trimester abortions, the legislator should watch a full second-trimester procedure. Likewise, if the bill is related to partial birth abortions, the legislator should watch a full partial-birth procedure.
When it comes to human life (we're not talking about chickens, mice, grasshoppers, or single-cell organisms), legislators should not be legislating in a bubble. There's a big difference between talking or reading about abortion and actually watching the procedure.
Will it be hard to watch? Absolutely. That's the point. It's gutwrenching and disturbing. If a legislator is going to put his or her stamp of approval on something so barbaric, at least take the time to watch the full procedure.
