Pro-Life Laws Protect Mom and Baby: Pregnant Women’s Lives are Protected in All States
Charlotte Lozier Institute ^ | July 2022 | Mary E. Harned

Twenty-five states have one or more strong gestational limits on abortion that are either in effect or are enjoined while in litigation. Each of these states permits abortion in those rare and heartbreaking circumstances when it is necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

Physicians can make this determination based on their “reasonable medical judgment,” a standard very common in the medical profession and used for any case involving medical malpractice litigation. Physicians are trained to use their best judgment to care for patients; however, it would be prudent for state medical boards, state medical societies, state boards of pharmacy, hospital quality committees, and hospital attorneys to provide more detailed guidance to doctors on how to reach a determination that abortion is necessary. Tragically, this type of guidance appears slow in coming.

Meanwhile, abortion advocates are spreading the dangerous lie that life-saving care is not or may not be permitted in these states, leading to provider confusion and poor outcomes for women.

A counter point to the pro-abortion fear mongering over "life of the mother" care being denied by existing abortion laws.

Kamala laid it on really thick last night. The only problem is that her depiction of current abortion legislation appears to be inaccurate.

The problem is that democrats are NOT pro life, and they do not follow law. They are above the law.

If you must kill your neighbor because you were raped by someone else, I support you. Rip her limb from limb, then join the murderer column.

The chemical abortions trump and Vance endorse covers up trafficking and abuse.
But hey, for zero votes, we will go states rights on this commons sense abortion.
Kinda like common sense gun control… which the bumpstock banner obviously endorses.
Let’s return rape to the states too.

Abortion pills cover up trafficking? You’re kidding, right?
A woman doesn’t need to become pregnant in order to be abused. And pregnancy doesn’t prove abuse. You might want to consider laying off of the stupid pills.

Why?
Why is there the presumption that the life of the mother is more important?

One could argue that the life of the child is more important.
