Washington State to Expand Abortion

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D)

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign legislation that would expand abortion in the state by allowing non-physicians to commit abortions.

Pro-abortion advocates in the state of Washington say that the legislation will enable abortion businesses to provide abortion for women coming from states with pro-life laws. 

Gov. Inslee commented on the pro-abortion bill in response to an Idaho bill modeled after the Texas Heartbeat Act: “This bill will increase the number of people who are statutorily allowed to provide this service to the citizens of Idaho. If Idaho will not stand up for your constitutional rights, we will.”

Allowing less-qualified individuals to commit abortions will likely lead to more injuries and complications among women who have abortions in Washington state. Potential abortion complications include hemorrhaging or infection, either of which can lead to death.
