4. Would you support legislation to remove criminal liability for physicians and pregnant women experiencing life threatening pregnancy complications and allow for medical and family decisions regarding continuation of that pregnancy. Please explain your response.
I would support legislation that removes criminal liability for physicians and pregnant women facing life-threatening pregnancy complications. Removing such laws are vital to safeguarding maternal health and respecting individual autonomy for all people in the U.S. Pregnancy complications can endanger both the mother and fetus, necessitating informed medical decisions without fear of legal repercussions. Empowering individuals and families to make these difficult choices with medical experts is a fundamental liberty. Legislators must prioritize access to essential medical care and ensure that legal barriers do not impede critical medical decisions. I support legislation that upholds the health and autonomy of pregnant individuals.
