Idaho Passes 'Abortion-information' Legislation

CNA Staff / Teresa Neumann Reporting (Apr 13, 2006)

"More children will live thanks to the Idaho legislature."

The Idaho House passed legislation Monday that requires doctors to provide women with information about the medical risks of abortion at least 24 hours prior to the procedure, as well as the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the unborn child at that time, according to a report in CNA. The bill now goes to Gov. Dirk Kempthorne for his signature.

Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, lauded the move. He says this legislation will give women important information that will enable them to choose life for their unborn children rather than abortion.

"More children will live thanks to the Idaho legislature," said Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life.
