Pro-Life Legal Guide by Americans United for Life
AUL, a non-profit law firm, publishes a yearly review of incremental initiatives — model legislation — that states can use to protect women and unborn babies.
There are some 670 laws to regulate abortion in the nation. The Freedom of Choice Act or FOCA would eliminate each of these state controls on the abortion industry.
For example, if FOCA was signed into law by Obama non-doctors across America could do abortions:
+ Any school nurse could do the abortion surgery.
+ Any school nurse could do the abortion surgery in the school clinic.
+ Any school nurse could do the abortion surgery on any school age girl.
+ Any school nurse could do the abortion surgery on any school age girl without mom knowing.
+ All abortions done by your school nurse on your little girl will be paid for with your tax dollars.
The Pro-life Legal Guide belongs in every lawyer’s library.

The first national pro-life organization in America, AUL has been committed to defending human life through vigorous judicial, legislative, and educational efforts at both the federal and state levels since 1971.

Needless to say, that is all a lie. Show me the passage in FOCA–any current version–which says or implies that school nurses would be allowed to do unsupervised abortions. There is none.
As it happens, soon most abortions will be done by certified underling medical professionals, under supervision by docs. But this has nothing to do with FOCA. It will happen regardless of whether or not FOCA passes.
The proposed FOCA is quite clear and explicit in removing ALL and ANY restriction on abortions, hence the law and the support of Planned Parenthood — and the making of millions on the misery of women and abortion.
The previously proposed FOCA legislation removed the physician requirement for the abortion surgery.
FOCA removed all requirements on health conditions on venue — abortions could be done anywhere in any “clinic” including your local school clinic.
FOCA removes any parental notification and parental involvement in cutting up your kid.
And there would be no restriction on your tax dollars on these underage abortions with out mom knowing, done in schools by an LPN (a nurse with a two year associate degree from your local community college). (Not that there is anything wrong with community colleges…)
The intent of FOCA is to provide greater “access” to abortion — to remove any impediment that might limit or slow the abortion surgery. This is how Planned Parenthood make money — millions of dollars.

Reeeeally? “ALL and ANY restrictions”? So you’re saying that under FOCA, janitors and cab-drivers will be allowed to do abortions?
That’s bullsh*t, my friend. You are lying about FOCA. It won’t let janitors and cab drivers do abortions. You’ll still have to be a physician or a certified physicians’ assistant, supervised by a physician.
