With toothless restrictions like that, it is highly unlikely that even a single life will be saved.

WELL DUH! Either way, when this bill is signed it will be quickly laughed out of court, shot down and rightfully so. All of it is based on propaganda and is bad medicine. Doctors should be able to make the best decision for each individual patient, government should stay out of the business of playing doctor just because the procedure goes against their personal religious beliefs.

I really don't think you get it. For many (most, all ?) of us who are pro-life, a baby is just as alive just before he/she is separated from its mother as just after. Any child who is viable outside of the womb who is destroyed has been murdered.

Think about what you're saying. A doctor can decide who should live and who should die? Based on what? Who appointed that doctor to be God? Once that child is viable, there is nothing to discuss. It's protected by the Constitution.

You are absolutely right. Government should view abortion as murder based on the Constitutional right to life not a politicians personal religious view. I also agree that a doctor should make the best decisions possible and use his/her best abilities and tools to protect the lives of every human being under their care. If they fail to do that they should face criminal charges for intentional harm and civil suits for malpractice.

To believe that life begins at conception is not a "religious" belief -- it is a scientific and obvious fact!

Best put on some Nomex threads, dude. People who express that opinion around here find that it can get HOT, fire-and-brimstone hot, in short order.
