Gov. Bev Perdue issued this statement yesterday:

This bill is a dangerous intrusion into the confidential relationship that exists between women and their doctors. The bill contains provisions that are the most extreme in the nation in terms of interfering with that relationship. Physicians must be free to advise and treat their patients based on their medical knowledge and expertise and not have their advice overriden by elected officials seeking to impose their own ideological agenda on others.

Just kidding.

Funny how liberals fret about “government intrusion” when it comes to abortion, but edicts from Uncle Sam on what you eat, drive, where you live, etc., are perfectly fine.
