Informed Consent Laws

work to Stop Abortions!

from Agape Press

...An informed consent law put in place in Minnesota by a government health department appears to be working, as evident from the state's lowest abortion rate since 1975.

A study of abortion statistics released by the Center for Health Statistics for the Department of Health for the period January to December 2004 shows that more than 2,000 women changed their minds about having an abortion after receiving information supplied in accordance with the law.

The law, known as the Women's Right to Know, requires a waiting period before aborting and provides full information regarding the nature of abortion.

"This clearly shows that Women's Right to Know is working," says Scott Fischbach, executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life -- a key supporter of the law.

[Way to go Minnesota!]
