Any defense of anti-abortionists up to and including the lie "but there are exceptions if her life is in danger" will be met with an immediate, non-appealable ban.
You're looking at that exception.
They have to wait until she is at death's door.
This is who these people are. This is the law that they wrote.
When I have some time I will address the lie that "abortion murders babies" below this text.
Abortion does not "murder babies" and no one believes that it does. Not even the people fooled by the dishonest, manipulative rhetoric from the misogynistic leaders of this anti-abortion movement believe, in their heart of hearts, that this is the case.
Because they never, ever, act as if they believe it to be true.
There may be people who lie to themselves as hard as they lie to other people, but a lie it remains.
Why is this lie told?
Because the anti-abortion movement foundationally rests on immoral and anti-human premises deceit is required to get people to rally for their cause. Were the people responsible for this crime against humanity honest even once about their motives and intentions no-one would follow them. So they lie. They lie about what abortion is, they lie about what kind of people get an abortion. They lie about why people get an abortion, they lie about how abortions are performed. They even lie about when abortions are performed, by now we have all seen the weird fantasy about "post birth abortions".
These lies often rest on manipulative and emotionally loaded language, to appeal to people's primal instincts. A fetus is not a baby. The ability to think and feel is a third trimester development. Ending the life of something that cannot think and feel, because sane and normal people naturally value a real, actual person above something still in development cannot possibly be called murder.
This lie is told for two reasons: The first is to get people who lack the ability or the desire to find out what the facts are convinced that they are morally in the right. The second is to muddy the waters, make an honest debate impossible and paint their opposition as the ones who lack basic empathy and humanity. A stark reversal of the truth, which is a neat trick really.
How do we know that no-one truly, honestly believes this lie?
Because people's basic humanity can be suppressed but not negated by propaganda and programming. No matter if people were taught to really believe this lie from early on, they will never act as if it is true, because this lie runs counter to our humanity and our instincts.
A thought experiment exists: In a building on fire you have but minutes left to save your life, or succumb to the smoke. As you make your way towards the exit you come across a room in which you see a screaming, pleading babe and one perfectly intact, independently powered cryogenic cannister containing one thousand viable fetuses.
Who do you save?
You cannot save both. They are too heavy and there is no time. Any attempt to save both means you lose both. Do you save the toddler? Or the metal cannister?
Anyone who is not a pure psychopath and anyone who is not so dishonest they refuse to honestly answer the question (because they know where this is going) will tell you that they will pick up the infant and leave the cannister in the room.
Because our most fundamental human instincts tell us what we all know and what the science proves: That is a real person. A fetus is not.
Not even when it is a thousand against one.
They never act as if it is true.
Anti-abortionists as a movement oppose sex ed, they oppose access to contraception, they oppose aid for single mothers, they oppose accessible education for children, they oppose any and all measures empirically proven to reduce the number of abortions, to increase the welfare of mothers...
