That right there tells me that this bill is a step in the right direction. If you can tell me of a way to pass a bill that will eliminate all abortions and will pass the house, senate, the Governor and then the SCOTUS, I'm listening. I've been part of the pro-life movement since '84 and have yet to see any babies lives saved from the "all or nothing," only from those who have taken steps like the bill just passed. And I do believe that this bill will pat muster even from the SCOTUS. So what is your plan?
There’s still nothing protecting them.
1) They can still kill every single child, as long as they do it on schedule.
2) There’s nothing in the law to prevent the hit man, and/or the one hiring the hit man, from simply lying about the gestational age of the child. To people with consciences seared to the point they can rip thousands of babies to pieces lying is nothing.
3) The language of the bill kowtows to the courts’ “undue burden” standard. In effect, they are assuring the court in advance that they won’t really stop any woman from killing her child if they want to.
The bill is not going to pass muster with the courts, and since the legislators have no actual moral, constitutional, or legal principles left with which to actually argue, and since they are pretty much all a bunch of judicial supremacists, abortion on demand will continue, and confusion over what is actually at stake will still rule the day.
Same old unprincipled game. Same predictable results, every time.
