Fantasy Island, Or As I Like To Call It: Sanity Island

Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle (R) on Wednesday signed into law a bill (HB 1242) that repeals a current law requiring women seeking abortion to be state residents, the AP/Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports.

Thank you, Governor. While your law says non-state residents can obtain abortions, Ohio is currently attempting to pass legislation that criminalizes women crossing state lines.
Ohio is becoming as primitive as the Wire Hanger State, formerly known as South Dakota.

The measure also allows women to undergo the procedure in clinics and physicians' offices outside of hospitals (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 4/13).

In addition, the law inserts into state law a paragraph clarifying a woman's right to abort a "nonviable" fetus and her right to undergo an abortion to save her life.
