TYT: Abortion Restrictions Explode In United States



"Lawmakers across the nation pursued a record number of reproductive health and rights-related provisions in 2011, a new report from the Guttmacher Institute finds, enacting 135 measures in 36 states — "an increase from the 89 enacted in 2010 and the 77 enacted in 2009." Sixty-eight percent of the provisions — 92 in 24 states — restricted access to abortion services..."*. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

those who should be supporting reporting reproductive rights at every damn turn -- {dems i'm looking at you} -- have certainly their share of the blame.

and womens rights groups? time to play hard ball.
