It has come to my attention that the Arizona Senate has passed SB 1359, which deals with civil liability, wrongful life and wrongful birth. Upon a single read, though, I had found this bill to be thoughtful in that it adequately strengthens the protection of doctors when dealing with the ever growing controversial topic of abortion. It is impossible to establish harm in wrongful life claims, therefore it shouldn’t be held at the fault of the doctor to withhold such information from expecting parents. But the troubling aspect of this bill is that it presumably gives doctors the right to lie to their patient. Not all cases of wrongful birth/life occur because of immorality, this also leads me to the fact that the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy is left untouched in this bill. If omitted knowledge could lead to the death of a constituent then the bill is only saving the doctor’s pockets and not really a potential child’s life. In conclusion, I believe that a revision should be made to SB 1359, one that clearly states that if doctors fail to inform a mother of detrimental and life threatening (effects) to a mother their “immunity” from lawsuits is nullified.

One reason abortion is an issue is that some women find that the onus of pregnancy is beyond their ability to cope. It may be more constructive to take the morality component out of the discussion as that argument is personal and inflammatory.
An ideal society would provide prenatal, birthing and postnatal care to remove financial, familial and social burdens from the decision. If the mother chooses not to keep the baby this same society would be able to be sure the child is well placed in a loving environment. There would be no real reason for choosing abortion. If half the effort of the hate and blame programs were to go into creating this environment much of the problem would go away.
Our radical, divided society could care less about the fetus, mother or future of either. The finger pointing, name-calling, blaming bigots and profiling politicians are ready to jump onto this float and ride the parade as far as it will take them. When the time comes to actually do something, they'll jump off an wait for the next opportunity.
With another law in place to complicate things that opportunity is sure to come around. Meanwhile nothing real will have changed for the fetus, mother and broken system that should support them.

SamKat-the stone age didn't have bedrooms.
What is morality? It is a social concept that some people want to go away. Climbing to the highest rungs on the ladder of social progress requires the individual to accept responsibility for his/her actions and control those actions so that it benefits not only one's self, but the whole of the group. This is morality.
Sadly, there are some today who choose not to climb to those heights, neither in public life nor in private. They feel uncomfortable, knowing that even as they are part of the group, they do not belong to it-because of their actions.
What is abortion? It is a denial of responsibility for one's actions; a choice to hurt another rather than be discomfited.
What is truly driving us back into the stone age? Zealots who are protecting the innocent and preserving morality, or those who wish to have no more responsibility than the dog or the cow?

Zazu: Name one doctor who has been forced to perform an abortion. What we really need is protection from the religious zealots who keep trying to legislate morality into the bedroom. They are trying to drive us back to the stone age.

Everybody wants immunity, no one wants responsibility. Everybody wants to be paid, no one wants to do anything to get paid. The only responsibility left in society is the average man's to pay for it, and it's worth less than he pays. Be sure you buy that car seat now. Never can tell when you'll need to give a kid a ride. Nothing is straight forward, hasn't been in years. If you want to know why some 'law' is a bill, hang around politicians until you hear a cha-ching near one and ask.

Zazu, If only these issues were as simple and as straightforward as you and I would like them to be. Let's see what happens.
