Arizona Court Upholds Common Sense Abortion Regs

The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld new abortion regulations which require any woman seeking an abortion to meet face-to-face with the licensed physician performing the abortion at least 24 hours prior to the abortion, reports Charisma News Online.

The law also requires that parental consent forms be notarized in order for a minor to get an abortion. Health care providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, may refuse to participate in abortions, provide contraceptives, or give out the "morning after pill" if they have moral or religious objections. The law also prohibits anyone who is not a licensed physician from performing an abortion.

The law includes chemical abortions, such as the abortion regimen RU-486, which means that nurse practitioners will no longer be permitted to perform any type of abortion.
