        If you want to be that pedantic, no, self defense is not murder. Killing and murder are two different things. For killing to be murder it has to be legally unjustified.

      The women dying are actually ones trying to have children. Collateral damage in the war against abortion, some might say. But intolerable if your goal is to get people to have more children (which is really at the heart of the anti-abortion right).

      They also know full well that exemptions won’t work. No doctor wants to perform a procedure when they might have to argue the decision in a criminal case. Politicians need to keep their hands off the practice of medicine.

    2 deaths vs how many babies saved? The law is pretty good. But if they can make it better, sure.
