While other states find creative ways to perhaps lessen abortions, notably by requiring a waiting period, it is no surprise that California wants to find ways to do more of them. That’s not a shock and it isn’t bad. Yes, California is kooky and anti-business and overwhelmingly progressive but in a diverse country, someone is going to be the most at those things so it might as well be California.

But if you know anything about medicine, you have to wonder why a midwife is somehow qualified to perform abortions when the whole point of making abortions a federal right was that botched abortions risked live.

Who disagrees with this proposed legislation? OB-GYNs, as you would expect. Abortion advocates telling us Obstetricians and Gynecologists do not understand female reproduction is pretty funny.
