A nonviable pregnancy or a medical emergency where removal of the fetus is required is not murder.

Abortion is murder.

You're describing abortion.

Abortion is murder.

Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it is murder.

Let's check in on our pals in Texas, huh?

https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-abortion-ban-sepsis-maternal-mortality-analysis

The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found.

ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion.

Blood is on your hands.

It should be proven that the fetus is nonviable and/or needs to be removed for the survival of the mother before removal of the fetus is permitted

The matter should not be delayed, though and treated with urgency.

It should be taken on a case-by-case basis, sure. But the more red tape you put in the way, the more likely you are to kill innocent women.
