Shorty, I am discussing why legislators might see a need for enacting legislation to protect Roe-type rights in the face of potential changes in SCOTUS.

If we are talking about the specifics of this legislation, I have ALWAYS said that I personally oppose late-term convenience abortions.

am simply expressing an opinion as to why statue legislators (who are NOT scholars) might want to enact preemptive legislation.
That is a bit like saying states are legalizing pot because they believe the Feds might step in and outlaw it. One needn't be a "scholar" to realize that is a nonsensical position.

What it WOULD do is force the Feds to intervene in exactly the way states supposedly feared.

I'm no legal scholar but I'm failing to see how legalization of post birth murder is necessary. Maybe you can explain the nuance to is neanderthals

First, the governor seems to have been running his mouth about a topic NOT EVEN COVERED by the proposed legislation.

Second, none of these proposed statutes deal with a post-birth situation. They are abortion-rights statutes, none of which are NEARLY as broad as the Board hysteria would lead one to believe.

Third, the idea of a SCOTUS that would negate ROE scares a LOT of people. Is it really surprising that they are enacting legislation to protect rights that they see as having been essentially-immutable for fifty years?

That is sick.

Late-term abortions and post-birth murder will go along way to ending Roe v. Wade as we know it. This will push a lot of people who were on the fence about abortions clearly in to the pro-life movement.

Fine. But let's all at least acknowledge that his rhetoric on the matter is genocidal.

I disagree, because it appears to me that he was taking about a non-viable birth.

I don't see anything remotely "genocidal" about allowing a non-viable birth to receive palliative care and a pain-free death.

Non-viable births are a TINY fraction of one percent of births. That is not "genocide" under ANY definition of the term.

Really.
Because I literally just heard the bill's author state that the bill would allow for abortion at any point in labor.

Sure if you completely ignore his comments about severe deformities.

You can't murder people because they're deformed.

If he was ACTUALLY talking about VIABLE births with deformities, I agree with you completely, but follow-up statements from his office seem to confirm that he was talking about deformities that result in non-viable births ... not a harelip.

Yes after his comments clearly advocated the murder of the deformed I'd imagine it would necessitate some damage control.

Can’t get it to post but basically his response about his comment is that he totally didn’t mean that. Just what would happen if a “non viable fetus or severely deformed fetus” was with the mother and she went into labor

There is no logical reason to even bring deformities into the discussion. If they're so severe that the child isn't viable then it would just fall under that umbrella.

I'm guessing the governor is educated. Do you think he would choose his words that poorly?

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,"

The situation where this makes perfect sense is clear to anyone who has ever spent time in a NICU.
