The state of Hawaii is now forcing faith-based pregnancy centers to give women information on where they can obtain an abortion. Those who violate the law face a $1,000 fine for each violation.

    As long as the law is aimed at fully-informed consumers, I'm not necessarily opposed to this - if Planned Parenthood is required to post information about pregnancy support and adoption services and warnings about burning in Hell, church-supported centers can be required to provide information about Planned Parenthood. Just like Wal-Mart is required to post Target flyers and McDonald's has to post Wendy's ads to alert customers to better deals at the competition.

      And Government Almighty offices, and the offices of the Rethuglicans and Demobcrats, should all be required to PROMINENTLY post notices about the advantages of the Libertarian Party, and of anarchy...

    I'm sort of genetically predisposed to "MYODB" as a first principle...

    Those who violate the law face a $1,000 fine for each violation.

    Seems like a cheap ticket into heaven. You get to be a money martyr. My question is why are they making laws aiming solely to help women?

    """"" to give women information on where they can obtain an abortion. """"

    Is the answer "In Hell" acceptable

      This is Hawaii. I would given them an address in Maine...

  5. Tom Bombadil   8 years ago

    Hawaii is the USA's most beautiful shithole.

  6. Longtobefree   8 years ago

    With any luck, Hawaii will combine with California and secede together.
    Of course, all of this madness would not have come about without the feds injecting politics into medicine.

    1. Tom Bombadil   8 years ago

      This is a subset of the larger problem of "injecting politics into anything/everything".

  7. AlgerHiss   8 years ago

    Does "planned parenthood" offer gift certificates for abortions?

    If so, do they offer perhaps a book of 6 that's discounted?

    1. $park? leftist poser   8 years ago

      They punch a hole in the fetus then put it on a string. When you've got six hole-punched fetuses on your string, you can trade them in to get your seventh abortion for free.

    what's that Alice Cooper song...Dead babies something, something, something?

  9. Social Darwinist   8 years ago

    I'm not in favor of a law telling PP or these groups what they have to post to their customers about other services. However, if a group is receiving government funds, and as a condition of receiving those funds the government requires them to post those notices then those groups have a choice to receive funds or stay principled.

    1. Radioactive   8 years ago

      can't we just all agree that a priori: government funding is evil, by it's very nature.
