ABORTION: HOW TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR ALL WOMEN AND TRULY CHAMPION THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND HEALTH EQUALITY

THE PRO-CHOICE WOMEN’S HEALTH EQUALITY ACT

Here’s a great way to effectively champion Women’s Reproductive Rights and Health Equality by leveling the playing field for all women, especially poor, disenfranchised, medically needy, working class women, who have been physically injured or psychologically harmed by a pro-choice decision.

1. REQUIRE abortion providers to carry the minimum $500,000 Malpractice / Injury Insurance per procedure/patient;

2. INCLUDE mental health (i.e., emotional, psychological, and social well-being) as a basis for a pro-choice decision malpractice/injury claim;

3. PROHIBIT a woman’s waiver of right to file a malpractice/injury claim for her pro-choice pregnancy termination decision;

4. REQUIRE all women sign a form certifying having been provided a state-approved injury claim form prior to her pregnancy termination procedure;

5. MAKE violation of any section of this law a felony, with automatic forfeiture of medical license and forfeiture of all assets (including real property) associated with the violation;

6. PROTECT all abortion facility personnel from any and all types of adverse action, discrimination or retaliation for reporting any injury, illness, fatality, unethical conduct, or violation of any municipal, state or federal statute, or medical safety concern or standard; and,

7. ELIMINATE or EASE the statute of limitations for filing injury claims to 10 years after the pregnancy termination procedure. This will protect all women, especially the medically-needy and the poor by ensuring and safeguarding their right to the highest standards of professional medical care as well as abortion-related injury compensation.
