The House of Representatives, in its glorious Republican majority, passed a bill that would prohibit abortion even in the event of a mother's death. This is it: if you're bleeding and go to a hospital, the hospital is not required to treat you or transfer you to a facility that could save you. This seems to involve Catholic hospitals in particular. So, basically, you would bleed to death rather than undergo life saving procedures. The bill is expected to encounter Senate opposition and a Presidential veto, if it takes that.
