§
18.2-73. When abortion lawful during second trimester of pregnancy.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of §
18.2-71 and in addition to the provisions of §
18.2-72, it shall be lawful for any physician licensed by the Board of Medicine to practice medicine and surgery, to terminate or attempt to terminate a human pregnancy or aid or assist in the termination of a human pregnancy by performing an abortion or causing a miscarriage on any woman during the second trimester of pregnancy and prior to the third trimester of pregnancy provided such procedure is performed in a hospital licensed by the State Department of Health or operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
§
18.2-74. When abortion or termination of pregnancy lawful after second trimester of pregnancy.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of §
18.2-71 and in addition to the provisions of §§
18.2-72 and
18.2-73, it shall be lawful for any physician licensed by the Board of Medicine to practice medicine and surgery to terminate or attempt to terminate a human pregnancy or aid or assist in the termination of a human pregnancy by performing an abortion or causing a miscarriage on any woman in a stage of pregnancy subsequent to the second trimester
, provided
that the following conditions are met:
(a)
1. Said operation is performed in a hospital licensed by the Virginia State Department of Health or operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
(b)
2. The physician and two consulting physicians certify
certifies and so enter
enters in the hospital record of the woman, that in their
the physician's medical opinion, based upon their
the physician's best clinical judgment, the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to result in the death of the woman or substantially and irremediably impair the mental or physical health of the woman.
(c)
3. Measures for life support for the product of such abortion or miscarriage must
shall be available and utilized if there is any clearly visible evidence of viability.
§
18.2-76. Informed written consent required.
A. Before performing any abortion or inducing any miscarriage or terminating a pregnancy as provided in §
18.2-72,
18.2-73, or
18.2-74, the physician shall obtain the informed written consent of the pregnant woman. However, if the woman has been adjudicated incapacitated by any court of competent jurisdiction or if the physician knows or has good reason to believe that such woman is incapacitated as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, then only after permission is given in writing by a parent, guardian, committee, or other person standing in loco parentis to the woman, may the physician perform the abortion or otherwise terminate the pregnancy.
In summary - The change to the law of Virginia PROPOSED - eliminates the need for two consulting physicians to certify that pregnancy continuation will result in death of the woman, or impair the mental and /or physical health of the woman. This is as regards a pregnancy subsequent to the second trimester. The attending physician must comply with the law that a third trimester abortion will result in death or impair the physical an/or mental health of the mother.
It is a stretch to conceive that third trimester abortion is easier to occur , and ridiculous to attribute after delivery baby murder to be legalized by this proposed bill.
I personally have no dog in the fight - except Hysterical Lying is unacceptable. This OP post is similar to one by a different OP regarding the proposed NY law - which was also a hysterical LIE, and proven by posting the bill text.
I understand abortion opposition. One does one's cause no favors by lying hysterically through one's teeth like DPST's do.
Check your facts - it is too easy to be shown as a Liar in such situations!!!!
Now- where is the One who only knows Nazis under the Pillow???
Anything constructive to ADD???
Those who "Know their Stuff" can also search for and post Truth.
New york...you ain't got nothing on Virginia!!
