This forum was created by Dave Leach R-IA Bible Lover-musician-grandpa (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2019 (UTC) to help prolifers discuss the most effective evidence and legal arguments to include in legislation designed to force courts to address the overwhelming consensus of court-recognized fact finders that babies are people, which, according to Roe, requires all states to outlaw abortion.

Part One is the enforcement section of the legislation: the part with penalties for those who violate it. For reasons explained in Part Two, the Legislative Findings, a law designed to knock the foundation out from under legal abortion must restrict abortion substantially and deliberately. It must be simple, in order to avoid creating any distraction from this evidence, or excuse for judges to dodge the issue. That is far more critical than making this law the final version that will address everything from exceptions to contraception and serve Life for 1,000 years. The mission of this law is a case that will force judges out of the way of saving Life. After that is done, lawmakers will have leisure to discuss and research challenging details. Therefore this enforcement section must be very simple.

The wording of this section will vary from state to state, depending on where in each state's laws the simplest change can most substantially restrict abortion.

Part Two is the Legislative Findings of Facts. The Findings section needs to be thorough enough to court-proof the enforcement section: that is, it needs to contain the evidence and argument which no judge will be able to squarely address and keep abortion legal. It needs to untangle several false assumptions that have confused judges and prolifers, and have prevented prolife lawmakers from directly challenging legal abortion.

The wording of this section can be the same in every state.

Iowa Code 707.7 Feticide.

1. Any person who intentionally terminates a human pregnancy at any stage of gestation, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, after the end of the second trimester of the pregnancy where death of the fetus results commits feticide. Feticide is a class “C” felony.

2. Any person who attempts to intentionally terminate a human pregnancy at any stage of gestation, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, after the end of the second trimester of the pregnancy where death of the fetus does not result commits attempted feticide. Attempted feticide is a class “D” felony.1

3. Any person who terminates a human pregnancy at any stage of gestation, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, who is not a person licensed to practice medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery under the provisions of chapter 148, commits a class “C” felony.

4. This section shall not apply to the termination of a human pregnancy performed by a physician licensed in this state to practice medicine or surgery or osteopathic medicine or surgery when in the best clinical judgment of the physician the termination is performed to preserve the life or health of the pregnant person or of the fetus and every reasonable medical effort not inconsistent with preserving the life of the pregnant person is made to preserve the life of a viable fetus.
