Okay, MM alleged that the PBA ban is worthless because he claimed that the definition of PBA in the bill only applies to instances in which the head is completely outside of the woman's body. He then lifted a partial quote that states pretty much was he alleges, but he left out the rest of the language which shows that what MM alleges in the only definition of PBA is but one. The language in the act goes on to say that in head-first births, the head must be out of the mother's body, but it also covers breach births. I copied and pasted what he omitted, along with a link to the bill.

You need to address the suction allegation. Is that now a no longer an available tool per this Bill or not? What is your opinion, putting aside that you did indeed score a oint that the Bill addresses both halves of the body of the fetus provided enough of either half is out?

Yes I've read it...... thanks. The bill as I read it makes abortion prohibitive if the head is totally delivered in a normal head first delivery and if the body is delivered past the navel in a breech deliver.... In either of those two situations then it's prohibited to preform the overt act.

Now is the head isn't delivered totally in a head first delivery then as I read it the overt act can be preformed, if that's possible.... The same in a breech delivery if the delivery hasn't reached the navel then the overt act can be preformed...

Am I missing something.
