"The article misrepresented the proposed law by stating that it was simply about ensuring newborns receive adequate care. In reality, it was voted down by all Democrats because it 'create(ed) new penalties for medical providers involved in such procedures, which could also apply to those treating women with severe late-pregnancy complications who find themselves in agonizing situations in which their children have no chance of survival.' To answer the question posed in the original article: 'What is the danger in passing a second law — or even a third or fourth if necessary — to underscore the point that the right to life immediately attaches to a post-abortion live birth?' The harm lies in criminalizing licensed healthcare providers for participating in legal abortions, rather than addressing the illegal healthcare provided by an unlicensed individual in the 2009 case the article referenced. The article creates a strawman fallacy to justify the need for this law."
