It’s called a “wrongful birth” bill and it’s all about preventing women from having an abortion, even if it kills them. The Arizona Senate passed a bill this week that gives doctors a free pass to not inform pregnant women of prenatal problems because such information could lead to an abortion.

In other words, doctors can intentionally keep critical health information from pregnant women and can’t be sued for it. According to the Arizona Capitol Times, “the bill’s sponsor is Republican Nancy Barto of Phoenix. She says allowing the medical malpractice lawsuits endorses the idea that if a child is born with a disability, someone is to blame.” So Republicans are banning lawsuits against doctors who keep information from pregnant women so as to prevent them from choosing to have an abortion.

1. odd ... Repugs, Cons, and Teahadists regularly call Dems/Libs "murderers" for not outlawing abortion

outright ...

yet they get a free pass when any of THEIR legislation (avoiding any regulations on products which could kill - FETUSES, or when an ectopic pregnancy occurs and kills a woman and - THE FETUS) kills someone.

2. Embryos, not even at the point of a fetus

With tubal pregnancies, even 8 weeks in most parts of the fallopian tube it will rupture long before then. A fallopian tube is no uterus that can stretch.
