[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a near-total ban (no weeks). The only exception is to save a woman's life (but no doctor will take that on because of the potential criminal liability). It carries a sentence of 2-5 years in jail. It's as strict as you can get. It's also based on 19th century law before Arizona was a state. How to you politically spin that as having a serious conversation about abortion? As you say, it's also on the ballot so voters will come out in droves against this draconian law. Arizona was a battleground state. It isn't anymore. And this will reverberate across elections across the country.[/quote]

Not only that, I can't imagine a scenario in which an embryo less than 14 days old could conceivably pose a risk to the mother's life. It would have to be a situation like, say, fast growing uterine cancer in which case there would be no need for abortion, the medical treatment alone could/would simply destroy the embryo incidentally--even Catholic dogma would be ok with that.

Did they know about ectopic pregnancy in 1864? [/quote]
They did not, women who had ectopic pregnancies just died. It’s only diagnosable via ultrasound.[/quote]
