No....though this is very unfortunate, there is no way to combat this practice without making all abortions suspect. This law is so vague and so easy to use throughout pregnancy that a blanket that if challenged could have the ability to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Not if the Bill would preclude, or potentially preclude, "choosing" to abort a fetus in the first trimester for any reason or no reason.

Btw, I agree with Al that there is more to the puzzle than the right to make a "choice." For some, a fetus at some point just seems - well - a bit too human. And therein lies almost everything really come to think of it. When or when is a fetus just a bit too much like us for our own comfort in our own little sense of what being a human means? On that one, it really is all about subjective "choice."

Of course, if you are a misanthrope ...

Then that goes towards the timing and not the reasoning but may go towards the method.
