Would you support legislation in your
state (or even federally) that would
require organizations that receive either
tax breaks or government grants provide
.Medically and .Scientifically accurate
information to their clients regarding:
basic biology and anatomy, condom
effectiveness, birth control, and
abortion?

if I understand that right, then yes, as
long as adoption and parenting options
were also included, which would include
how to get aid as a new parent, how to
give a child up for adoption, and safe
places to obtain abortions.

i would support legislation that says all
organizations (if pertinent) have to
supply medically and scientifically
accurate information about everything to those who need
it. I can't figure out a reason why
not...I support informed choice. I
support accurate education, even if it's
detrimental to a cause. I do not support
censorship, but if an organization is
practicing unethically, providing accurate
information trumps my dislike of
censorship. Truth first.

now i'll give you some
background on this. We developed some
legislation that we were looking for a
representative to carry in both the state
house and senate. However, when we
turned over what we already had, they
struck out the portion that would require
.Crisis .Pregnancy .Centers (.C.P.C) to
provide their clients with medically and
scientifically accurate information. The
representative's excuse was that he didn't
think enough of the general population of
his district would support restrictions on
.C.P.C's.
But, we gave him countless testimonials
and agreed to bring our clients who had
been treated wrongly by the .C.P.C's to
testify before the committee and he said
that not enough people in his district
knew what really occurs in .C.P.C's, all
they would see would be restrictions on an
organization that claims to do a lot of
good for .Women in the area.
So, I was just wondering if the support
really would be lacking or if he was just
afraid to make a politically risky move.
