Why would Planned Parenthood be against a law requiring women to...

Why would Planned Parenthood be against a law requiring women to hear all risks of abortion before having one?
It makes no sense. If you're pro-women, why would you want to hold back any information regarding this non-reversable procedure? Why not tell the woman about all the risks and all the possible problems it may bring and how the procedure is done, etc? Can anyone from the pro-abortion movement explain that to me? Why you are against it? And stick to the topic, please. Don't start telling me how this is not a man's business and how women have a right to choose, blah blah blah... I heard it all and nothing can justify the murder of an unborn baby. Just please - tell me the reasoning behind Planned Parenthood being against a law requiring that a woman be told about all the risks of abortion before she makes her final decision to have one. That's all I want to know. Thanks.

I'm sorry... here is the law:

It would mandate that abortion providers tell patients numerous things currently not required by law, including:

* a description of the abortion procedure that will be performed;

* the health risks associated with abortion procedures and related anesthesia and medication;

* the age and anatomical characteristics of the fetus;

* alternatives to abortion; and

* that a fetus older than 22 weeks may be able to feel pain.

Doctors also would be required to offer patients the opportunity to view an ultrasound and hear the unborn child’s heartbeat.

Note offer the opportunity... not force them.

I think this is all perfectly reasonable. Why then, is Planned Parenthood against it?
