Nice historical analysis. I doubt that it is possible to have any law dealing with abortion that is not fatally vague if it is part of the Criminal Code because physicians will never know what is meant by the key words like health being "threatened". They will never know if they are being merciful or criminal. The vague equivalent in MAID law is death being "reasonably foreseeable".
Thank you for this. I marched for Dr Morganthaler in the 60s and would do it again. Your historical analysis is important
Amazing! Thanks!
