I'm not an attorney, but I understand a few things.

The vast majority of people do not wish to run afoul of the law, doctors certainly do not for the most part.

It would be difficult for an abortionist to argue that a PBA (something that takes days to prepare and perform) was done as an emergency ue to a life-threatening condition to the mother.

Without that concession, the bill may have encountered serious challenges, and may not have passed.

Would that have been a better scenario for you?

Without this bill, many babies would die. With it many babies may be saved, and a few may die.

Which would you prefer?

Would there not also be other people in the room .. like a nurse or two?

Probably but are they objective witnesses?

Would that have been a better scenario for you?

I'm happy you asked. A better scenario for me would be eliminating all late term abortions.

Which would you prefer?

Another logical fallacy. There's another choice. Criminalizing all late term abortions at the outset. Remember that the Republicans control both the House and the Senate. It's called leadership and this limp-wristed legislation does not speak from leadership. It speaks from a communitarian philosophy that is both feckless and ineffective.

If this is the best that Santorum and others can foist up on the hill than they should stick to fundraising. No definitive, demonstrable declarations equals equivocation and politics as usual.

Same as it ever was.

But I'll still support Libertarians For Life because they have their eye on the ball.
