LC 2.6 Lincoln Abortion Ban Repeal Act (Statute)

[lfromnj]

Isn't abortion anyway allowed under federal law?

[lfromnj]

I do not believe there should be any restriction on abortion until the point of viability but if there is such a restriction then the women should also be punished and not just the doctor. I would split the fine between the women and the doctor. I am deciding if I can amend the act to also split the fine with the women.

I also oppose the amendment and will wait for the vote to be opened on it.

Can somebody briefly explain what, in practice, the old law and the proposed new law would be?

While I am largely an opponent of abortion (and am uncomfortable with a 20 week deadline), I am extremely sympathetic to the mother's life.

I actually would support an amendment expanding exceptions to situations in which not only the mother's life is at risk, but the mother's *physical* health in general.

I'll hold off on proposing the amendment until I have a firm understanding of the law before/after the legislation though.

Passing this legislation would re-enact the Reasonable Limitations Act - I included the text of the original law earlier in the debate.

Currently, Lincoln's policy is an amended version of the Lincoln Abortion Ban law as seen here.

So what is the point of this law again if the abortion ban was already repealed due to the lack of the signature by the governor?
