The former head of Catholics for a Free Choice [sic], Frances Kissling, wrote recently at Feministe to express her disappointment with a new Missouri law that requires abortion facilities to offer ultrasounds and information on embryonic and fetal development to women seeking abortions.
Kissling is particularly incensed that the law will require abortion-bound women to be told these words:
The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.
Her response:
Once again, a state legislature thinks it can settle a question that no philosopher, lawyer scientist or other expert has ever been able to figure out.
