The bill doesn't do much but reduce the number of doctors needed to make the call down from three to one, and also make it so a late term abortion could actually happen if necessary. The language in the law currently is so restrictive it isn't ever interpreted as legal, even if the health of the mother is in jeopardy. It would still require the life or health of the mother or the fetus to be in jeopardy for a third trimester abortion. The same bill was introduced last year, verbatim, and there was no big issue. This year is an election year, so Republicans decided to grandstand to try to rally their base and caught Tran, a freshman legislator, off guard.
Nothing in the bill went beyond Roe v Wade, right?
