Death Certificates for Aborted Babies

Tennessee has proposed legislation that would require doctors who perform abortions to file a death certificate within 10 days. Although, some statistics are maintained on abortion, they are not kept on all that are performed in Tennessee. This legislation would allow citizens to see how many babies are actually being aborted and would most likely make the abortion a matter of public record.

Keri Adams, vice president of Planned Parenthood in Tennessee, called the proposal "an attempt to terrorize frightened and vulnerable women who are seeking abortion". "We think it's clearly a violation of privacy".

If a woman is not responsible enough to avoid an unwanted pregnancy in the first place, then she must deal with the consequences of wanting to murder that baby. Why do we concern ourselves with the "privacy" of the mother when we should concern ourselves with the baby who's body is going to be ripped apart and it's life ended by an invasive procedure?
