"First, it was New York's live-birth abortion law, and then the former governor of Virginia's horrific comments about how an "infant would be kept comfortable" on a table while the decision is made whether the child should live or die.

Now it's a disturbing Maryland bill that intentionally uses the word "perinatal," which has a drastically different medical meaning than prenatal (before birth), to prevent even an investigation where a living child is allowed to die between one and four weeks AFTER birth. That's infanticide."

Just to be clear I am personally against abortion. However facts are important on both sides of the debate. Does the NY law you reference or the new Maryland bill actually reference after birth abortion?

No, they do not. They essentially protect a mother, and doctor from any charges of wrong doing in the event of a "perinatal death", IE miscarriage, birth complications, etc. It's fear mongering, and really doesn't help the cause, and I'm not even on their side.
