  Letter: Republicans have head in sand on abortion issues  4:42
PM, Jun. 21, 2013  |  Comments  The Wisconsin Legislature has
passed a bill that would obligate doctors to order a pre-
abortion ultrasound, and would require abortion providers have
admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles of their
clinic. Republicans claim this is to protect life, to protect
the health and safety of the mother and child.  If Republicans
truly cared about the health and safety of an expecting mother
and her unborn child, they would mandate prenatal care and
ultrasounds for all pregnant women. They would also ban smoking,
alcohol and illegal drug use by any woman who knew or should
know she was pregnant. If Republicans truly cared about health
and safety during outpatient procedures, they would mandate all
doctors who perform outpatient procedures have admitting
privileges at a nearby hospital.  Republicans rally against
ObamaCare, in part because they believe government bureaucrats
will determine a person's medical car
