Are FOCA supporters aware of the radical nature and extreme effects of FOCA?
Yes. Sponsors of FOCA and pro-abortion groups do not deny FOCA’s draconian impact. For example, Planned Parenthood has stated, “FOCA will supercede anti-choice laws that restrict the right to choose, including laws that prohibit the public funding of abortions for poor women or counseling and referrals for abortions. Additionally, FOCA will prohibit onerous restrictions on a woman’s right to choose, such as mandated delays and targeted and medically unnecessary regulations.” As Senator Boxer eloquently explained in 2004, “FOCA [will] supersede all other laws,” especially those that the Supreme Court has held to be constitutional under Roe v. Wade and subsequent decisions.
