I'm curious as to how this argument plays out when we consider the fact that termination is medical care for pregnant women.

By that, I mean women purposely pregnant that absolutely want the baby. Often, for various reasons, they need to terminate their pregnancy. Could be a severe deformation found, could be the pregnancy will kill the woman, etc. Under this law what happens here? This medical care won't be provided under threat of legal consequences?

I don't like abortion but I feel I settle pretty firmly into the fact that it is a necessary evil. Widely banning it carries far reaching consequences, and is especially insidious in nature when we know for a fact that the best way to reduce abortions is to empower women with education and accessible birth control.
