A woman who wants an abortion because she doesn't want a child will usually obtain one early in the pregnancy. Late term abortions are usually done for real medical reasons.

Basically, this law says that even if the doctor believes that this procedure is required to save the life of the mother, he should just let the mother die.

Sure, they say there can be appeal to the courts, but what other medical procedure requires a lawyer?
