So it is not medically necessary to determine a person's viability before removing him from his life supporting facilities? So I can walk through the vegetable aisle at CMC and just start cutting off the breakers on every person who looks to me like they are already dead? Sweet, now I've got plans for the weekend.
Come on 2&2. That's not even close to a legal parallel. I'm talking about why this law is going to be struck down within five minutes of reaching an appellate bench, not about the morality of abortion. The law does not define an unborn fetus as a person, and therefore it has no rights. That, of course, is not true, at all, of a person on life support in a hospital. You know your analogy doesn't work in any legal sense, so why bother?
An ultrasound has no medical benefit to a woman who has elected to have an abortion. Therefore, under our constitutional precedent, it is illegal to make her undergo such a procedure as a prerequisite. It'd be like requiring an enema to get a nose job.
