(14) Pursuant to the testimony received during extensive legislative hearings during the 104th, 105th, and 107th Congresses, Congress finds and declares that:
(E) The physician credited with developing the partial-birth abortion procedure has testified that he has never encountered a situation where a partial-birth abortion was medically necessary to achieve the desired outcome and, thus, is never medically necessary to preserve the health of a woman.
Or maybe you just have a personal grudge with Luis? Either way, it's not a mile wide loophole.
Sec. 1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited`(a) Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself. This subsection takes effect 1 day after the date of enactment of this chapter.
See the lies? It's a game of inches rather than yards. It's falacious sophistry and lame. Want to see what leadership looks like:
Anyone who knowingly performs a third trimester abortion, for whatever reason, is a murderer and will be charged as such. The sentence will be carried out at the will and descretion of the court.
That's leadership.
