life threatening pregnancy termination is already a federal allowance. this takes it a step further in that it allows a woman to simply request an abortion even while giving birth.
State law does not trump federal law, if the state law is less specific about the requirements for an abortion, the federal rules apply, in the matter under discussion, that a physician determine that the procedure is medically necessary for the health of the mother or the fetus is dead or not viable. State law on abortion can be more restrictive than federal law up to a point, but it can't allow abortions that are not allowable under federal law.
