SENATE BILL: Pregnant Women Support Act (Law'd)

[ilikeverin]

I'm a bit worried about the provisions in 2 being a form of indirect coercion; for example, it is unclear in 2b1 what "characteristics" would be mentioned here.  3 is also a bit odd.  Otherwise, most of this seems just fine; it would be nice to see a more-explicit endorsement of and/or support for genetic counseling in 7, which will undoubtedly be helpful as we are able to diagnose more and more things before birth (and, even more critically for the job of a genetic counselor, know that people are at higher risks for certain things, which is where it starts getting confusing).

I'm not sure that's even constitutional to impose the national government's will on what is presumably locally controlled.

[ilikeverin]

Yup.  This represents an improvement over the current bill.  But I'll vote for Sbane's, too, once it comes up to a vote, because that's even better.

[ilikeverin]

Yup   Then I'll move to strike the last clause added, cuz it's kind of pointless.

[ilikeverin]

Yup
