I went with the State's Government webpage. Seems legit; here's the bill, without the OMG:
I see nothing that states a woman cannot have an abortion if her health is in question. As usual there may have been just a touch of embellishment. Like that law in NC that repealed every LBGT anti-discrimination bill ever.
Maybe because that wasn't brought up in the OP?
Quote:The backlash against the bill — which bans abortions sought because of fetal abnormalities, including those that can lead to later miscarriages,
Which it does do, just not in those words because...politics.
Quote:Prohibits a person from performing an abortion if the person knows that the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion solely because of: (1) the race, color, national origin, ancestry, or sex of the fetus; or (2) a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of the fetus having Down syndrome or any other disability. Provides for disciplinary sanctions and civil liability for wrongful death if a person knowingly or intentionally performs a sex selective abortion or an abortion conducted because of a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of Down syndrome or any other disability.
Of course how much trauma could a woman REALLY go through when she is forced to carry a child that will likely miscarry? I mean come on! Jebus might save them both!
And if she HAS to go through the procedure of giving birth to a dead baby, well...that's the price you pay when you get pregnant in a GOP controlled state. After all the small government types know what is best for the vagina!
