I did read it. In fact I just read it again. There is no question the above legislation will open the flood gates of litigation if is passed as written. If you don't believe that I recommend that you reread the section I quoted above.
Sec. 4 (c), "(c) Civil Action- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a civil action." guarantees this. Only someone naive beyond belief could buy into your above assertion that this bill does not guarantee the compliance of any facility that offers in or out patient surgical services. Either that or they have to close down.
This is very much about religious choice. Were it not for the religious and moral issues people have with abortion, this thread would not be taking place. To try to sweep it aside with your argument on training and equipment is completely invalid.
Every surgical center that works on female plumbing is equipped to do a DNC. By default that would force them to do the job or be sued as this bill is written. Using your argument could force doctors to choose between doing pap smears and vaginal wart removal in the office or sending the patient to the hospital for the procedure.
If you still believe your own argument, you are going to need to point me to the words in the bill that support your case. If there is language in there that agrees with you, I missed it.
Don't get me wrong. I am in favor of a woman being able to abort in the first trimester without question. Government has no business telling anyone they have to violate the tenants of their religious beliefs about unborn children. As it is written now, the Freedom of Choice Act it is a prime example of bad law.
