or how about THIS? 
And then of course this part, which will mean no hospital will EVERY perform an abortion again because they won't want to risk being told the patient wasn't close enough to death....
They reiterate multiple times that threat of suicide does not count as needing an abortion to prevent death. So, this is worse than pre-Roe for those who are curious.
Translation: if there really is a circumstance where the life is in immediate jeopardy, the abortion will be done in a way that will cause harm to the patient (surgery or induced labor) to try to save the fetus at all costs, even if it is not able to survive outside the womb.
Why is this important to them? Because then they can claim it wasn't an abortion anyway. It is why it's "okay" to cut and remove the tube during an ectopic but not give a methotrexate injection.
But on the bright side, they are going to provide statistics on whether the person who had the abortion survives and "for how long..."
Well that's just all around hideous. If states really do pass something like this, the reality is that while they will claim they aren't "prosecuting" pregnant people they are medically isolating them from any hope of ending a pregnancy. And they are ecstatic about it. /end

I broke my thread somewhere in here but whatever. Because I’m still mulling over what this means. Feel like you would die if you’d have a baby? Give birth! May physically die? Give birth! We’ll keep track of how long you last afterward!
Manage your own abortion and afraid you did it wrong? Go to a hospital and be interrogated! You probably won’t be jailed as long as you give them someone else to prosecute. But don’t you dare call someone to support you. No clinic. No Doula. Nothing. This is so isolating&hateful.
I firmly believe most conservatives even don’t want this. They aren’t taking seriously or aren’t aware of how very far these people are willing to go. Talk to your families. Talk to your neighbors. I promise you, many are disgusted by what the anti-abortion faction is doing
