AZ bill
AZ bill would disclose personal patient info to the state Because patient rights don’t exist if you got yourself knocked up
…in addition to a woman's age, race and marital status — which the state health department already collects — it would mandate that doctors collect and report information such as the reason for the abortion, who referred the woman to the clinic, the weight of the aborted fetus and other intimate personal information about the woman.
The bill could also mandate that a report be filed when a woman uses emergency contraception.
Eleanor Eisenberg, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Arizona, says the bill “singles out a single medical procedure and imposes some incredibly onerous and burdensome requirements.�
There is absolutely no reason for the state to need the reason why you want an abortion, who showed you the clinic, and the weight of the fetus. This information would not help the gov't at all, most likely they will think that because it is so much work to get this information, abortion rates will drop. This goes to show you that women still do not have a full right to freedom of choice. Why should it be so much work to decide for yourself if you are ready for a child or not. This is why contraceptives should be more widely accessible, so women would not have to deal with the choice of an abortion.
