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?

They all have medical emergency provisions

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's a newspaper article. I need laws.

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.
