What is holding this legislation up?
This is a positive approach to increasing access to health care for women who need it the most with as many options as possible.

I'm concerned about this legislation allowing tax dollars to fund abortion. I agree with the wording encouraging fewer abortions and education that has dignity for the human body. No education should violate a families religious beliefs. Preventing casual sex and teaching self sex and committed relationship sex is the way to go if not abstainance. However, the rights of doctors and nurses to not participate in abortions is crucial. Also, as a parent, parents should not lose their rights to parent children and know about their daughters receiving abortions because they will need a lot of counseling to find peace after this devastating act. All options, especially adoption needs to be considered. Let's teach what sex is meant for and not how to make it 'safe'.
