Revision as of 15:21, May 25, 2011
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, bans webcast abortions, 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 webcast 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; also made "Choose Life" plates available. | ||
| Utah | Expanded the freedom of conscience of providers and hospitals with respect to abortion.[2] | Strong leadership in Utah on this issue enables it to benefit from the lowest abortion rate in the nation | |
| Texas | |||

The Ten Worst
| State | Legislation | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tennessee | Despite big majorities claiming to be pro-life, they passed no abortion law and instead gave pro-aborts a gift by approving putting abortion on the ballot (SJR 127), where the abortion industry can defeat pro-life candidates and the referendum by spending money on its defeat | There's been a lack of socially conservative legislation for years there | |
| Arizona | Despite big majorities claiming to be pro-life, Arizona passed only three worthless laws: HB 2416, HB 2384, and HB 2443.[3] | 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. | |
| Missouri | Nothing, despite passing good laws in prior sessions. | A RINO was Speaker of the House. | |
| Oklahoma | Nothing, despite claiming to have the most pro-life legislature (and a pro-life governor) in the nation. | ||
| Wisconsin | Despite having the votes to pass any conservative law, it has done nothing on the issue of abortion. | ||
| Georgia | Not a single pro-life bill passed, despite the governor and many legislators winning elections by claiming to be pro-life | ||
| North Dakota | Pretended to support a ban on abortion, but actually passed nothing | ||
| Wyoming | Though supposedly a conservative state, it failed even to pass an ultrasound bill, with a Republican legislator casting the deciding vote against it in the Senate.[4] | ||
| California |
