I truly feel sorry for the USA and its citizens. With such religious loonies the country seems to fall further and further into religious fundamentalism.

I would just like to ask you if you know if the bill has passed or if it’s still in debate.

@iMoonquake I hate that we're so religious. As for the bill, no, it hasn't passed yet.

So... Instead of letting one die, they're letting two die instead? What is this supposed to accomplish?

Does a woman not have a choice? if there is a chance she may die without the abortion can the hospital really stand back and watch it happen because they are pro-life? I don't understand this, it should be a woman's choice, not the hospitals. A woman can always have another child. Sounds cold I know but it is true.

so much for the separation of church and state.These religious nuts don't realize that by allowing the woman to die is to allow the baby to die.This is why religion must be banned,at least the christian religion.

Wow. Mind-boggling stuff.

I guess we should also mandate that hospitals can no longer give vaccines, because some people claim that vaccines are how the Illuminati secretly control our minds and give us aids.

Weird side note, the lady @ 1:25 was using a Shure condenser mic.

I'm pretty sure those aren't meant to be used for speech.

Maybe she's an aspiring musician. 'Probably plays the tromboner.

Solution.......wire coat hangers.....ye olde style.

[JayJayAbels]

Religious groups and religion in general hold such powerful sway over the Republican platform. It's jaw droppingly ignorant.

[BadScienceForFools]

A doctor who refuses to save a patient's life should not be allowed to practice!

This bill makes no sense at all. If the mother dies, then so does the fetus.
