"Specifically the implied loophole for abortion doctors."

If the abortionist does perform a PBA, under this law, he would have to prove that the procedure was essential to save the mother's life. If that provision was not inserted in the bill, the arguments against it would have been monumental, similar to what I argued with FRed, with it, the bill was passed.

And this is a HUGE increment that was written to make sure it has the BEST possible opportunity to NOT be overturned.

I don't know WHY this is so hard for some folks to grasp.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. How does the state enforce circumstances as you describe?

After all, with restrictions on a doctor's activity defined to the degree that this bill specifies there would have to be a judge sitting behind every abortion doctor's shoulder like an umpire. Do you see that happening?
