Since I couldn’t find the wording of the actual law I can’t confirm this; but unless the law issued a written letter that had to be given without change, in other words an absolute as opposed to a minimum ‘must contain at least’, the solution is not to fight but to give them more than they asked for. Consider the following additions so the minimum required statements.

From the article:

a written statement telling them that "the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being (as defined by the legislature: "an individual living member of the species Homo sapiens, including the unborn human being during the entire embryonic and fetal ages from fertilization to full gestation." so an undivided egg and sperm combination is included in this definition)," and that they have "an existing relationship with that unborn human being" that is constitutionally protected (as in’ no one can force you to have an abortion this constitutional protection means that any decision is ultimately yours to make’).

In addition, doctors are ordered to describe "all known medical risks of the procedure and statistically significant risk factors," including "depression and related psychological distress" (which statistically are equal or less than the same risk factors entailed in carrying to term) and "increased risk of suicide ideation and suicide (which statistically are equal or less than the same risk factors entailed in carrying to term)."

And I’m sure that with a little research one of the better writers out there could include a truly devastating rebuttal to this stupid law, as part of it’s required handout.

It would be difficult to argue, at the SCOTUS level especially, that it is better to give less information as opposed to more. The idea should be to turn the table. Show their stupidity and make them realize that when they do something stupid they will lose in the end.

Oh, jeez- Rhetoric! Rhetoric! Rhetoric! I don't care who'se rhetoric it is, it all sounds like crap to me! Your additions make it sound like two opposing wingnuts arguing. Why don't you just make every abortion seeking patient read a Slate Fray board on the subject? :-)

For an anaesthetic? YAWN!

That's totally the point. Make the legally required reading be as dull and boring as possible, and make it obvious that this is a government requirement.
