What about all the radical feminists bragging about abortions and making light of them?
All I can say is Liberal Democrats have their priorities mixed up

Heard about that today...
Seems the left are jockeying for position on who is more immoral.
If you did that to laboratory testing animals you would go to jail...
And the governor was still calling it abortion... I had thought the term at that point would be infanticide?
So I guess if you're 15-16, have a kid and throw it in the dumpster then it's OK now?
Sad part is that not a SINGLE Democrat that I have seen has stood up and said "Wait, What?"
They're just all supporting it.
I was a preemie by 2 months.
This is just crazy.
If that’s most likely what would happen then why the need for the legislation ?

Adoption period .... a woman should just sign a waiver

Devils advocate, necessary abortions aside(rape, life risk). Do you really want someone who would abort a baby weeks before birth, raising said baby?
And, that's most likely what would happen. If a woman comes to her doctor, 8 months pregnant, healthy and with a healthy fetus begging, for an abortion, because she's having, let's just say self doubt, what doctor wouldn't send her to an adoption counselor instead of acquiescing to her dangerous and unsafe, hormonally induced remedy? I mean, c'mon, women have denied and tried to get out of labor forever. It's coming baby! Reality is real! LOL
But, after giving birth she may change her mind, or not.
I really can't imagine any other scenario without going to "back ally" remedies.
oh but taking a giant scizzor to cut their head off is not torture... or poisoning them inside the womb or leaving them to die in a broom closet is not torture. All that blithering about “comfort care”

I read that requirements are severe deformities which can only be assessed if there was an ultrasound and that the child is unviable/will die. The other case would be if the mother's life was in danger if you are against that then you must be willing to trade lives.
As I said before in those rare cases where the child is born severely deformed which can include organs on the outsideand its certain they will die, institutions are required to put them on support which is simply torture. I am not for torturing infants. Maybe the law needs to re-writen and better defined but something needs to be done so that in those rare cases we are not torturing babies.

I mean to say that, most likely a doctor would send such a woman to an adoption counselor, or not. This law doesn't address that. But, the law doesn't allow for aborting a healthy, viable fetus because the mother "changed her mind". It's still illegal, and the proposed changes wouldn't have made legal.
In what is considered a companion case, Doe v. Bolton, the U.S. Supreme Court held that “medical judgment may be exercised in the light of all factors — physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age — relevant to the wellbeing of the patient. All these factors may relate to health. This allows the attending physician the room he needs to make his best medical judgment.”
If I read that right, then what is considered a "catastrophic abnormality"?
Can a baby be aborted because the woman wanted a girl but finds out it is a boy.
What about if a white woman has an unexpected black baby? Is that OK too? You know...the Dr. pulls the kid out says "Congratulations...a beautiful baby boy" and then snips his spinal cord and tosses the lifeless body into the biological trash bag?
Unless I'm missing something, this means that after 24 weeks, an abortion can be performed (lets say 39) weeks do to the woman's emotional health. Again...a woman's emotional health could include her not wanting the child or any child, losing her job, losing her "significant other", etc. Yes...her Doctor would have to agree...but we have Doctors that agree to cut penises off men who want to look like women.
I disagree, those rulings never provided an exact definition of WHEN life begins.
The only way this proposal could possibly not be considered a crime against humanity is if the only way the fetus could survive is with ongoing mechanical assistance for the foreseeable future. This would include a vegetative state.
If they mean that a baby born at week 39 is born and needs ventilator care until the lungs develop, yet the mother can still decide to take the baby off the ventilator if she seemed under severe distress. This scenario is diabolical.
I am an independent, but if the Democrats are behind the scenario in the preceding paragraph, I will become a FOREVER Independent who will NEVER vote for a democrat again. For a matter of fact, they better start forming their own private army right now, their gonna need it.
What if a pregnant illegal Honduran crosses the border and gave birth at 39 weeks in a California that passed a law like this could be? The babies on a ventilator, and the mother decides to “abort”. Will the Democrats allow the loss of a future anchor baby lifetime democratic voter?
What it would have done was include the parents in the decision whether or not to remove the infant from life support...
The law doesn't allow for the murder of a viable fetus, or newborn, even if it needs life support, because the mother is stressed out.
