Five Ways the RFPA is more extreme than pre-Roe v Wade laws:

1. Fetal Viability is generally accepted as the point in which a baby can survive outside the womb with medical support or ~23-24 weeks gestation. This Act would make 2nd Trimester abortions legal on face value, but could extend into the third trimester by redefining fetal viability to “significant likelihood” of survival without “extraordinary measures” two terms without definitions.

2. Person, in choosing the language “person” and not adult, the RFPA would undo or “control over” all previous established impediments to abortion access, including parental consent.

3. “A right to reproductive freedom and privacy …including, but not limited to” combined with “services related to the reproductive processes, functions, and systems” means this would actually open the door for a transgender agenda of hormones and surgeries; without parental consent and as a “right” possible insurance mandates and premium hikes could follow.

4. Treatment– Abortion doesn’t treat pregnancy. It intentionally terminates not just a pregnancy, but a person, the life of a living and growing human being. Pregnancy has a natural end called birth.

5. Healthcare Provider– this term was used to include non-doctor-practitioners. Pre-Roe v Wade, abortions were only allowed to be performed by a licensed medical doctor.
