Well that camp keeps explaining to you that the bill doesn't permit after-birth abortion. I wouldn't be okay with that. But keep on ignoring it.

It’s not “may.” Not really because they changed it from "must" to "shall." If it was already mandatory, why change the word to something that only implies mandatory? Because you could infer that as not mandatory.

He wasn't out there for a sympathy display, but was pitted in a real match. He lost, but lasted the entire three rounds, despite the obvious limitation of not being able to fully plant his feet or have full hand strength in both arms. Bravo. Wonder if a kid like this will now exist with NYS & VA laws? I don't believe cerebral palsy can be detected before birth.....so the laws would have no impact. But awesome story, and always really cool to see moments like that.

The statute uses shall over 80 times already, all for mandatory purposes. It used must only one time. It is extremely common for bills revising statutes to also change terms for consistency purposes. So the bill changed the "must" (which isn't used) to "shall" which is used. There are a lot of reasons why the shall in that sentence means mandatory: 1) All the other "shalls" do, so it would be absurd to treat it differently. 2) Virginia courts presume shall means mandatory. 3) Treating shall as "may" in this context makes no sense. Why would you need a bill saying you can or may try and save the baby if it is viable? We already have that authority.

CP occurs during delivery complications, which certainly straddles the line between pre and post birth.

These statutes are almost always written poorly with a ton of issues, so you'll see states choose shall or must, and overtime, try to make all of their statutes say one thing. My state, minnesota, I believe passed a bill just going through all of the statutes and changing all of the musts to shalls. As in, that was the only point of the bill.

Unless I made a typo? EDIT: Yea, I said "I get the pro-life arguments, I don't see you as a soulless monster who is forcing women to have babies against their will." Yea the experiences can be truly awful. I don't know Kathy Tran! 1. When a person lacks empathy it can be a sign of sociopathic tendencies. I personally can't square your thoughts on full term children and ending their lives. My impression is on that issue is you lack empathy, hence my opinion about tendencies. 2. Apologies as you did not say I was souless. You were correct, I am not souless 3. You don't know Kathy Tran, but you know her words and what she believes about the termination of the lives of children at the moment of birth. I do as well. To you, she may be a hero to the cause. To me, she is reprehensible.

Other than I believe she is the lady who sponsored the bill. I'm only offering my opinion. Your latest message validates what I think. When the terrorists his the WTC, Pentagon and Pennsylvania on 9/11, many people able to empathize with more than 2 or 3 people impacted. I don't see it as an either/or issue with the mother/family v unborn child. In fact I think you have to work extra hard to view it as a Texas Death Match. You already said I was not soul-less, and I agreed. You were right here, take a victory lap. Again, you do know something about her. I assume you were not in Gym Class with Jeffrey Dahmer. Do you have an opinion on him? Come to think of it, he really only murdered people who may never have been alive had Trans law been in effect.
