New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant

[Rev. Rye]

And using a less common method that's usually performed during a late enough stage in pregnancy that abortions that get performed then are usually due to severe medical complications that render it the least bad option (abortion for personal reasons during a stage where IDX is the best option to do so is very bloody rare) was the best way to do this because...

So then, would you agree with making those second and third trimester abortions illegal, except in cases where there is an emergency situation, and the pregnancy is putting the mother in immediate medical danger? As well it would be stipulated that emotional distress, does not constitute an immediate medical danger, which constitutes fetal homicide.

If it was illegal, then it would make sense not to bring it up.

No, because I still think keeping it legal would cause less harm than making it illegal. Just to take one example, when mentioning the dark days before Roe v. Wade, I mentioned the case of Gerri Santoro, who died while performing an abortion on herself (and became an icon of the movement because the photo of her bloody body was leaked to the public), because she couldn't get a doctor do so one for her. Hers was a late term abortion.
