These videos are not meant to clarify anything. They pay lip service to the idea that doctors have some discretion, all the while reiterating that doctors that cross the ill-defined line are going to jail.

The line is intentionally fuzzy because they know that if each individual doctor has to put their license to practice on the line every time they perform an abortion, the line will end up getting pulled dramatically in one direction.

I am convinced that if we feel that there are any medical exceptions that are valid justification for providing an abortion, then we need to legalize the practice fully. Because legislators have proven that they can’t legislate this in good faith. It is better to have doctors make these decisions than legislators.
