The proposed legislation threatens women's access to essential medical care, including treatment during miscarriages. By granting legal personhood from the moment of conception, it raises concerns about potential criminalization of key reproductive health services. This endangers women's fundamental right to receive critical medical attention during pregnancy-related complications or miscarriages without fear of legal repercussions. Denying women vital care in such circumstances poses grave risks to their health and wellbeing. The government should not be impeding access to potentially life-saving medical procedures or subjecting women to unsafe conditions. I urge you to consider these serious implications for women's healthcare and reject measures that compromise their ability to obtain necessary treatment during challenging pregnancies or miscarriages.
