The Senate's changes forced into the bill an exemption for "medically futile" pregnancies, giving doctors the option to perform an abortion past 20 weeks when a fetus has congenital or chromosomal defects.
Since 88% of abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and amniocentesis is done between the 15th and 18th week of pregnancy, I imagine the vast majority of abortions done after 20 weeks are due to birth defects anyway.
Nice going with this Georgia:

No exemption is made for rape or incest.
Well. Let's make sure what we are talking about here. We are talking about later term abortions only, those that will cause great pain to the fetus. The bill puts more restrictions on chopping almost whole babies up and sucking them out of the womb. Thus it is termed the "fetus pain" bill. (On the no rape exemption) the thinking here is if the woman was raped the she must be responsible enough to have the abortion before she is late term.
This is a good thing, not a bad thing. It enforces personal responsibility, does not prevent abortions prior to later term and it prevents an almost whole baby from being painfully killed. I like the law. What about this did you not like again?
