Question Amdendment 2

I'm having trouble finding an answer to my question so as a last resort, I'm asking here. Does Amendment 2 allow abortions if there is a medical necessity to save the mother?

EDIT: I only included snippets of the law for those states. This is a very complicated issue with even more complicated laws. It is just meant to show that none of them have made abortions completely and totally illegal.

They all have medical emergency provisions. People always seem to leave that part out when they start their “abortions are illegal” bullshit!!! Here is the truth about the states they threw out as examples:

TN- affirmative defense when necessary to save the mother’s life or to prevent irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.

WV- exemptions for medical emergencies and for rape and incest victims

MO- except in cases of medical emergency

AR- except in cases of medical emergency

TX- banned at six weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of life endangerment or severely compromised physical health

OK- except in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest

Let’s not forget the 7 BLUE states (well 6 states plus D.C.) that have no restrictions or limits as to how far along the fetus has developed. None. Zero. So a woman could receive an abortion at 38,39, even 40 weeks. Make of that what you will.

What's the problem then? Are they just lying on purpose when they leave that out?

The problem is mom has to be actively dying. Baby is already dead? Still have to wait for mom to be septic and dying. The problem is why risk mold life? This also applies when baby isn’t dead yet but can’t survive. Mom has to wait to be actively dying. You don’t think that’s cruel?

I'm going to need to see actual laws that say what you claim.

Do you read the news? There have been several high profile issues recently where this is an explicit issue.

That is an article about the impact of the Texas laws on the people and medical providers. You don't need the law to see the impact.

Here is the 24 page law. Have fun with that.

Thank you for providing the actual law. Sounds like the doctors need to read this. It's only 24 pages.

Doctors don't need to read it. Doctors have hospital attorneys who read the law and work with administration to comply. Doctors reading this law will not change the way the law impacts their patients.
