I'd guess that they are trying to get as close to banning abortion as they can without attracting the Supreme Court.

How about animal shelters? If they can't find a loving family for the animal, they'll kill it (depending on the shelter).

Interesting how we treat animals as compared to how we treat murderers and babies....we'll put down a rabid animal because it's a danger to society, but not a human who is a danger to society. And the animal didn't even kill. We'll protect animals from abuse and death at the hands of caretakers, but not babies.

The reason rabid animals are killed is that they are considered less important than people, and therefore not worth life imprisonment. Babies are more protected than animals, and fetuses are less. Animal fetuses have no protection at all.
