Abortion opponents, meanwhile, welcomed Ellison’s latest comments. Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life spokesman Paul Stark said the targeted measures have “helped empower and protect thousands of women” over the years.

“The taxpayers of Minnesota deserve a vigorous defense of our common-sense abortion laws,” he said.

This is about as laughably Orwellian garbage I've ever seen, except it's not funny.

I didn't know about the fetal remains having to be buried or cremated -- that adds considerable cost to the procedure which is already out-of-reach for many poor women. As does the 24 hour waiting period.

EDIT - I thought there was a sonogram requirement too... ?
