I’m sorry to give you a thumbs down, because I can tell you put a lot of thought into this, and it’s nicely written, but I strongly oppose the premise and intentions of your bill.
Not only is abortion horrible, but localizing it at a county level would make any restrictions in the next county useless.
Thousands of fully formed, second trimester babies are getting dismembered, ALIVE and AWAKE to feel the whole thing, because the majority of second trimester abortions are given WITHOUT the fetal digoxin shot/fetal anesthesia/fetal pain relief. Babies aborted between 15-24 weeks are often born alive, only to die gasping for breath within minutes or hours. And many of these Democrat-run county leaders are too ignorant, and too uncaring, to deserve our trust to manage this issue.
Additionally, unfortunately, Trump has repeatedly said that he will not sign ANY abortion ban, so I presume that means even a ban at 24 weeks that you suggested.
Besides that, post-viability abortion is NEVER needed to protect a mother’s life or health (in which case a live delivery can be induced without killing the child). Finally, abortionists have regularly abused “viability” definitions and vague “health” exceptions. Those things have enabled them make up their own definition of viability, at any point of the pregnancy, and to abort healthy babies, in healthy pregnancies, well beyond the viability point, because of “mental” or “financial” health reasons.
I suggest a different approach, that will address top concerns about abortion and pro-life laws, will protect maternal & fetal healthcare and END the polarization/misinformation behind these issues. Can you please consider it? Thank you.
