Ok then,

Using that kind of language with science is always an iffy bet. What do we define as intentionally false? Lets say there is a study that says that there are psychological issues with abortion and pro-life activists use it in their purposes. This is against the AMA consensus, but is use of it "promoting intentionally false information"? This whole clause sounds like an attempt to politicize the science of abortion and give it some kind of ironclad certitude that it just doesn't have.

Unnecessary. I can find no laws according to this which would criminalize use of emergency contraception in the IDS.

My only qualm with this is the word dispense. To dispense emergency contraception makes much more of a statement; by actually putting it in their hands it puts more pressure on the victim to make a decision they may not be capable of making at the time. Better, I think, would be to offer emergency contraception and information about it, making it fully available to rape victims but not forcing it on them should they choose not to use it for one reason or another.

As an opponent of abortion I could never vote for this bill, but there's my two cents.

Does section 3 prevent states/localities from making new laws against emergency contraception? From how it reads it only seems to eliminate current laws against it, of which there are none.

As for your point, Scott, the idea is that banning abortion outright is either a) unconstitutional and will be quickly overturned or b) not politically feasible with current party representations. So, instead they introduce a proposal which would hopefully reduce the number of abortions without getting to the shaky constitutional issues. It comes down to the idea of "just because we can't do everything doesn't mean we should do nothing"

Seeing no further debate, I hereby bring this bill to a vote. Legislators have 48 hours to vote Aye, Nay or to Abstain.
