“But because it does not define life as of the instant of conception, will the pro-life movement treat it with contempt??”
I am betting yes.
Who have you been talking to to think that?
you are right.. look at what happened here in CO when that type of bill was introduced. It went down in flames because conception isn’t where the fight needs to be taken. I stated that if a heartbeat bill was introduced, we had a better chance during the mid-terms and got flamed here because too many people here want it outlawed altogether instead of incrementally... which is where it needs to start. In small increments like this.

“I am betting yes.”
For what it’s worth, I just got off the phone with some of the local pro-life leadership and all I got was cheering. At the national level it remains to be seen. But in my corner of the world it seems a lot of people like it.
