California legislation prevents the prosecution of abortionists who allow babies born alive to die between the 20th week of gestation and 28 days after birth.
"As we’ve informed you, AB 2223* is a pro-abortion California bill that contains language that would restrict the investigation and reporting of certain kinds of infant deaths, and could effectively legalize infanticide.
It has been clear from the beginning that the purpose of AB 2223 is to shield individuals, especially abortion providers, from civil or criminal liability when a baby is born alive after a botched abortion – and then left to die. In order to achieve this goal, the bill prohibits coroners’ reports related to the deaths of infants in the “perinatal” period from being used to bring civil or criminal charges against anyone.
As we have explained extensively, the term “perinatal” refers to a period of time generally encompassing the 20th to 28th week of gestation up until 28 days after birth. And, the bill – as originally written – could be interpreted as protecting both a woman (and any person assisting a woman) from civil and criminal liability related to the death of an infant in the perinatal period for “any reason"."
This doesn't mean that the law will be interpreted to mean an infant up to age 28 days does not have to be kept alive in order to avoid prosecution. But it could be. That makes this law unacceptable to me.
Please link me to abortion legislation, pro or con, that you find disturbing. I want the facts on abortion legislation. That means I need a link to the law.
