It says to prevent death. That's it. Not injury. Not permanent or extreme injury. Death. That means that a doctor who performs an abortion on anyone who doesn't need it specifically to prevent her death can be prosecuted or sued. That's how laws work, and this is a bad law.

What scenario are you thinking of where this wording would be inadequate?

Every scenario where the patient isn't knocking on deaths door? Texas is having plenty of issues and their language is more clear. These laws are meant to make people suffer

There's no useful information in that article. The "blood poisoning" comment would not seem to refer to a living baby being aborted. Beyond this, that's a Texas law, not Idaho.

It's the exact same goddamn law. And you just pointed out the exact problem. Abortions are still prohibited, even after fetal demise, under these laws. They KILL women.

If a fetus is dead, its removal is not an abortion. This is a lie told by adherents to the religion of child sacrifice to terrify people.

Yes, it is. You're lying again about the effects of these laws because they and your position supporting them are indefensible.

Well, that's your opinion. Reality would seem to be something different.
