I'm glad that at least the final draft doesn't include the definition of abortion from the earlier draft that was circulating, which read as follows: "the Department proposes to define abortion as “any of the various procedures—including the prescription and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action—that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation.” Never mind that there exists no way at present that we can test for conception, and thus most doctors won't consider a woman pregnant until after implantation. Yeesh.
