No it doesn't read that way and anyone who does actually read it can see this is another example of anti-abortion lies,
S.1645 - Women's Health Protection Act of 2019
Sorry, this is in my area of competence. You are decidedly incorrect here.
Please re-read Section 4 again, which indicates all abortions are permissible WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. Read it out loud, as I tell college students. You will hear what the language is actually saying if you can't detect it in the written words.
a) General rule.—A health care provider has a statutory right under this Act to provide abortion services, and may provide abortion services, and that provider’s patient has a corresponding right to receive such services,
without any of the following limitations or requirements:
So...WITHOUT this restriction: (8)
A prohibition on abortion prior to fetal viability, including a prohibition or restriction on a particular abortion procedure.
Hence, a baby can be aborted and the patient has a RIGHT to an abortion "without a prohibition on abortion prior to fetal viability. " That is exactly what it reads.
An attempt at obfuscation is made with the next sentence, which reads as follows, vaguely and unnecessarily, considering the former sentence:
(Without a restriction on ) 9)
A prohibition on abortion after fetal viability when, in the good-faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider, continuation of the pregnancy
would pose a risk to the pregnant patient’s life or health.
Hence, a baby can be aborted at any time if any "treating health care provider (NOT DOCTOR- is specifically not required under this Bill under multiple sections)" decides the fully developed baby ready to be born poses a risk to "life or health". Completely undefined.
"My life will be affected" because I don't have a babysitter." "I'm not mentally prepared to have a baby". Good enough reasons here, but of course even this statement is NOT required under number 11 in Section 4. Read it.
Some laugh-out-loud moments in this ridiculously named "Women's Health Protection Act of 2019" for those who understand and can interpret legal language:
11) Not all people who become pregnant or need abortion services identify as women. Access to abortion services is critical to the health of every person regardless of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, immigration status, sex (including gender identity, sex stereotyping, or sexual orientation), age, or disability status. This
Act’s protection is inclusive of all pregnant people.
(Complete pandering, virtue signaling nonsense. A pregnant person is by biological definition a FEMALE. Males cannot become pregnant or give birth. Very basic Biology. They can call themselves whatever they want but they are women if pregnant and/or giving birth/having their babies aborted)
Section 7: Liberal Construction. Oh, how very aptly named. So liberally construed that anything goes. In interpreting the provisions of this Act, a court shall liberally construe such provisions to effectuate the purposes of the Act."
And this: (5) VIABILITY.—The term “viability” means the point in a pregnancy at which, in the good-faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider, based on the particular facts of the case before the health care provider,
there is a reasonable likelihood of sustained fetal survival outside the uterus with or without artificial support.
Translation: "Sustained fetal survival outside the uterus = the BABY will live. It's not a fetus anymore but the writers could not admit it is a BABY.
You can't make this stuff up.
We need to remove Congress and start again with non-lifer, term-limited rational people.
