The legislation includes an exemption in cases in which the procedure is necessary to save the life of the mother.

Critics argue the legislation is unconstitutional because it is drafted so vaguely that it could apply to more than one type of procedure, and fails to provide an exemption to protect the health of a mother.

So which is it?

The problem has been that the "health" of the mother was being extended to "mental" health. If giving birth was going to be a traumatic experience that would have effected her mental state, then some doctors would use that as a reason to have this hideous procedure.

There is a BIG difference in protecting the life (pretty specific) or the health (way too vague) of the mother.
