Micah Beckwith is against an abortion exception for fatal fetal abnormalities
00:06:50 Micah Beckwith
So this you know, we’re going to have to see how that plays out in addition to the exceptions of life of the mother, rape and incest, the bill adds the exception of lethal fetal anomaly. So basically, it means, if they think that up to 20 weeks, if the fetus is going to have some lethal form of, there’s something happening to it in the in the womb, you can kill it now, problem with these many of these diagnoses are wrong. In, in my experience and, and I, I think most doctors would say that I, I know many people who their parents were told when they were in the womb, hey, your kid’s going to come out with a lot of deformities? They probably won’t live past, you know, few months and, and they’re alive and well and living years and years into the, in the future, so that’s not something I, I like about this bill. I, I think this is a, a piece of the bill that needs to be changed.
