By June 2011, most state legislatures will have adjourned for the year, and some for two years. What did politicians who campaigned by claiming to be pro-life actually accomplish?
The Ten Best
| State | Legislation | Comments | Political change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kansas | Requires local hospital privileges before an abortion can be performed, establishes meaningful parental consent, stops some insurance funding of abortion, adds ultrasound disclosure, requires facility standards, and prohibits late-term abortions based on fetal pain.[1] | This may curtail the large numbers traveling from Missouri to have abortions in Kansas, due to its prior lack of protections. | A Democratic Governor and Attorney General were replaced by Republicans. |
| Indiana | Defunded Planned Parenthood. | Enough said. | |
| South Dakota | Reduces coercive abortions by establishing a 3-day waiting period plus counseling by pregnancy help centers. | The abortion industry is not fooling any pro-life leaders in South Dakota. | |
| Florida | |||
| Nebraska | Banned remote abortions and slightly strengthened parental consent. | ||
| Ohio | |||
| New Jersey | Cut $7.5 million in funding for Planned Parenthood, despite pro-abortion control of the Democratic legislature. | ||
| Utah | |||
| Texas |
The Worst
| State | Legislation | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| North Dakota | Pretended to support a ban on abortion, but actually passed nothing | |
| Missouri | Nothing, despite passing good laws in prior sessions. | A RINO was Speaker of the House. |
| Pennsylvania | Nothing, despite a massive scandal of alleged murders committed by an abortionist. | |
| Oklahoma, which claimed to have elected the most pro-life legislature (and a pro-life governor) in the nation. | ||
| Georgia, where the governor and many legislators won by claiming to be pro-life | Not a single pro-life bill passed. | |
| Arizona, where big majorities won on pro-life platforms. | Only passed three worthless laws: HB 2416, HB 2384, and HB 2443.[2] | The RINO Speaker of the House Adams -- now running for Congress -- refused to allow a vote on meaningful pro-life legislation, despite passing by big majorities in committees. |
| Tennessee, where an overwhelming majority of legislators claim to be pro-life. |
