At the moment, it seems like there are two kinds of states: those that are trying to protect the unborn and those who want to remove literally any protection whatsoever.

In the latter category, few states are going quite so far as Illinois.

Illinois’ new a******n law passed the state House 64-50, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The v**e came after a contentious debate, however, including a question over how far the new bill went.

The Sun-Times said the Reproductive Health Act “would repeal the state’s current a******n law, adopted in 1975. In its place would be language in which certain elements are removed, such as: spousal consent; criminal penalties for doctors who perform a******ns; waiting periods; and other restrictions on facilities where a******ns are performed. The updated legislation, which passed a House committee on Sunday, also clarifies the definitions of viability and health.

“A new provision says a******ns can be performed after viability only if necessary to protect the health or life of the pregnant woman,” they said. “It also defines the viability as the fetus having a significant likelihood of survival outside the uterus without extraordinary medical measures.”

The bill’s sponsor, Democratic state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, said that criticism that the bill would allow a pregnancy to be terminated at any point was “medically and factually incorrect.”

However, the key Republican in the debate — Rep. Avery Bourne, who is pregnant herself — questioned Cassidy on key issues, like what a “fundamental right” to parental notification involved and what an “extraordinary medical measure” was.
In a passionate speech opposing the bill, Bourne made it clear this wasn’t just a minor redefinition of a******n law but something that could allow “perfectly healthy” babies to be aborted at any stage.

“This bill will mean that if a baby requires extraordinary medical measures after they’re born, doctors could determine up to the 40th week of pregnancy that that baby was never viable because it had to be flown to the NICU after it was born,” Bourne said.
“This bill means that if the baby is viable, a doctor can determine that the post-viable a******n can still take place based on a number of factors that include familial health and the age of the women.”

How about we leave the emotions at home for a while? If everything was to be calculated emotionally, Trump would either be Deified or burned at the stake.

Let's face it; unless you're a sociopath a******n is an emotional subject. Even if you are pro choice you said have some empathy for any woman making that choice and in my opinion more empathy for the discarded life being terminated. Exactly why I am pro life.
