Anti-choice people often claim to care about women who regret their decisions, but this bill would only make rushed decisions more likely.<br /><br />Second, heartbeat is no longer used to determine death (it once was, but because we can keep people alive on machines now, MDs no longer use that standard). Now MDs use brain death to determine when someone is dead. So why would it make sense to use the "heartbeat" to determine the beginning of life? It seems really inconsistent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
