According to the article linked below, the measure would require that any abortion provider thoroughly check each patient's background and lifestyle to ensure they are not coerced into the
procedure.
The article claims further that the abortionist would not be able to perform a nonemergency abortion unless "the imminent death or serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman" would follow. In other words, a nonemergency abortion would have to be/or be near an emergency - and this is where the pro-choice groups are calling this a ban for all practical purposes.
90,000 signatures are needed to get the initiative on the ballot, and this should be attainable.
The measure could help people in the future like Paula Talley. The article disclosed that she was forced into having an abortion ten years ago because of economic hardship and fears of her family's reaction.
