The pro death movement will always attempt to make the exception swallow the rule. Under their interpretation, because pregnancy and childbirth always carry SOME risk, they will overstate the danger every time there is the smallest deviation from a perfect pregnancy (e.g., preeclampsia and other pregnancy-induced conditions that are fairly common). And there will be courts and judges eager to interpret it their way. As a result, terms in the law MUST be well defined.
I have been involved in the pro-life movement for years. All this amounts to is another attempt to chip away at existing anti-abortion laws. It would be cheaper and easier for her just to go to New Mexico where they will happily abort her baby. But that is not what this is about. Thanks for posting this...
I think she did just that. None of this cost her a dime, but she should be ashamed for allowing the Center to make $$ by exploiting the trauma of her now dead baby. If you can't win on the merits, just shut up. I may disgree with someone but at least I can respect their position if they own the logical consequences of their worldview.

At least the Texas statute isn't ambiguous. I'm so sick of the lies and public manipulation. The profession enables this behavior too.
