-
- As written, this statement is bullshit.
-
- Under Roe, ALL ABORTIONS AFTER 24 WEEKS OF GESTATION MAY BE PROHIBITED BY
- EACH STATE, WITH THE SINGLE EXCEPTION OF THOSE PERFORMED TO SAVE THE LIFE
- OF THE MOTHER.
-
- Those done to save the life of the mother generally are not abortions per
- se as there is a secondary goal of saving the fetus' life as well.
-
- Therefore, EVERY state may enact legislation requiring a physician to
- attempt to preserve the life of a fetus that is 24 weeks' gestation or older.
