    In the Florida law, yes, if it’s beyond the (impractically low) gestational age threshold.

    This is not that surprising given the position of pro-lifers who think that life begins at conception. The UK just progressed an assisted-dying bill which would legalise the ending of the lives of terminally ill people; even with their consent, two written opinions are needed (in the bill, which is not yet law) to do this.

    But yes, it’s a lot of hurdles for something that should in general just be available as a medical procedure.
