Her whole campaign is built on emotional hype over a bill that the media touted as a ban on some abortions after 20 weeks.

The GOPe politicians pushed the bill to hustle their conservative base.

The so called 20 week ban has a clause nullifying itself
in the case of an “undue burden” on a “pregnant woman” or any “group of pregnant women”. The law says “the application of the statute to those women shall be severed from the remaining applications of the statute....”

The only thing the Republican Establishment did was to regulate abortion clinics so the small time operators from the “back alley” days of abortion were shut down leaving the big time operators like Planned Parenthood as an “abortion monopoly”.

The abortion law controversy is a lot of hype so that the GOPe and Democrat political machines can raise a lot of money and support from people who feel strongly about abortion on both sides.

As the late NY Senator Pat Moynihan put it: "boob bait for bubba" - tough-sounding legislation that doesn't actually have any teeth.
