Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/More abortion bills/reply

I'm surprized at how sane they are, for anti-abort bills. They actually have "unless she refuses" in the heart beat law, and "if the child will not live, or the life and health of the mother."

Really, 20 weeks is in sane. you cannot know much of anything about the health of your child at 20 weeks. And while unusual, it is not unheard of that a woman (especially a fat woman, a woman in her late 40s where she's skipping periods, or idiot teens who don't think) doesn't know she's preggers till 16-18 weeks, which gives you only 2 weeks to talk to people, decide what you want to do, and find a doctor. Again, it's not common, but this law does not make exceptions for the rare.

That's why most of these will *eventually* be over turned, but LA has written "immediate overturn" proof laws. ie., unlike the ultrasound rules, and the doctor can say what he wants rules, that are overturned as soon as they are passed, these will actually require some time in a court room.
