The law is about abortion. The court case is about abortion. The doctors who are the most familiar with reproduction and abortion claim this method of abortion is sometimes the "best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of the woman." Should the procedure should be compared to a tonsilectomy? I just don't see how that would be relevant to abortions.
