Nothing says pro life than killing anyone who receives an abortion, even if the abortion is to save the life of the mother which is the case for: Preeclampsia/Eclampsia, Placenta Previa/Accreta, Previable PPROM, Cardiac/Renal Disease, and Ectopic Pregnancy
Most people actually agree on the same thing once you get down into the details of abortion. For some reason everyone likes to lump themselves into "pro-life" or "pro-choice" camps and then argue about the extreme takes from either side.

It's because the pro life people are fed bullshit about pro choice people, like they get pregnant just so they can murder babies.
Babies are an excuse. This is about misogyny and coercive control.
They also want to terrorize/murder "Democrats" and brown women.
The pro-abortion people are bad at marketing their position.
Conservatives: "I never read Harry Potter so I don't know what those words mean"
The article specifically says there are exceptions in the bill which includes to save the life of the mother.
They say that but upto the doctors to prove its medically necessary to avoid lawsuits by the state. This delay is killing people. the politicians that rally for religious freedom and against sharia law, really like to impose theirs on others.
The less obvious fucked up part is how do you suppose they determine whether an exception was met? Do you think that is happening before the law enforcement goons have access to personal medical data?
Almost certain that at the very least, having a medically necessary abortion will get your private health records turned over to the police. You will become an investigation target and have your privacy violated before they can even possibly know whether you fall under an exception. Mix in the general disposition of police and the specific conflicting interest of stalker/abusive cops who will have no motivation to protect the people in these situations and you have a system designed to put every pregnant person in the US in the sights of PD firearms.
