Yes, and the legislature is often incorrect. For example, Texas draws the line at 'never', and it's medical exemption is so narrow as to never be used even in cases like ectopic pregnancies.

The point is that those states don't trust women to handle their own health and so they force the issue upon them.

If you have an actual point to make can you explain it.

It's very simple. No state or nation "trusts women" to draw the line where a new human being acquires the right to life. Every legislature takes that responsibility on itself (even those that draw the line at birth).

Do you trust women to decide whether newborns should live or die? Does Buttigieg?

So your point is an entirely irrelevant argument about moving the goalposts past abortion to make a nitpicky argument around trust.

The entire point is that ultimately it's her body you're trying to dictate. Do you think the legislature has a vested interest in controlling what men do with their organs? Should they pass laws preventing men from tying their tubes because the legislature has a vested interest in keeping population growth high?

You do understand that a fetus is not part of the mother's body, right?

It's quite normal for the legislature to get involved when the interests of two parties are in conflict.
