Here is the link to the Library of Congress' online text of Senate Bill
2020 (not a link to some right-wing interpetation), commonly referred to
as the "Freedom of Choice Act"
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:S.2020:
What it simply states is . . .
"SEC. 4. INTERFERENCE WITH REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROHIBITED.
(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY- It is the policy of the United States that every
woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a
pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after
fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.
(b) PROHIBITION OF INTERFERENCE- A government may not--
(1) deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose--
(A) to bear a child;
(B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or
(C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is
necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or
(2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in
paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities,
services, or information.
(c) CIVIL ACTION- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section
may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a
civil action."
NOWHERE does it even imply that hospitals, or any other type of medical
facility, will be forced to perform abortions.
