14. I thought this already was a law, in general.

That abortions are legal, prior to 24 weeks, and after that a doctor could be arrested for failing to save a baby who is delivered. There was a doctor arrested for this in California, decades ago.

I'm not sure I can imagine a situation in which a viable fetus being delivered and medically assisted would be problematic, unless the mother were critically injured or ill, and delivering the baby right at that time would cause the mother's death. But does the bill say that the baby's life must be chosen over the mother's?
