I haven't been following it closely, but words like that in legislation are often rooted in politics rather than good faith policy efforts. They create ambiguity and subjectivity into the execution of policy that are intended to muddy the waters and make the law difficult to interpret by the judiciary. Whether this was reasoning they used in striking them in their bill, I don't know. This is just what I know from the use of qualifying language like that in law based on my experience in policy research.
This. They create abiguity that allows courts more discretion to rule based on polical beliefs. Opponents of abortion would interpret those terms to mean "never".
