Lizzy - 

At the heart of the case that you wrote this article about - Whole Woman's Health vs Hellerstedt making it to the Supreme Court - What several law makers want is SAFETY/PROTECTION for the patients.

You mention colonoscopies being more fatal - but there are several million invasive colonoscopy scopes performed just in texas every year - - While only 70,000 - 80,000 abortions are performed in texas every year.

Imagine if, instead of the tens of thousands per state for abortions - the tens of millions of patients per state could show up with little to no previous medical history, screening, education, pre or post service assistance programs - no emergency care relationships, no emergency care facilities..

You really want less safety for patients?
