Sponsor: Governor LT

[Mr. Reactionary]

These are 3 minor clarifications to prevent pro choice kooks from making up stuff about our common sense abortion laws. It clarifies that handling ectopic pregnancies is not abortion, that general use medicine not intended for abortion is not abortion, and that pharmacists cant be sued for dispensing anti HIV meds. The Governor of Fremont thinks this is a good bill and will help keep phoney lawsuits away.

[fhtagn]

Motioning for a final vote. 24 hours for objections.
