Also, life of the mother exceptions are on thin ice; the drugs and techniques are rapidly becoming unavailable in the states where there's a total or near-total abortion ban.

Yes, according to that very article it’s not illegal.

From your article:

> It’s likely that those who wrote the trigger law did not intend this outcome, that it was just an effect of incompetence: They didn’t craft language that matched their intent.

> But the fact is, the language they crafted did make providing such care a crime. The only reason that the ban is not in effect today is that Winmill’s ruling blocked it from taking effect in cases involving emergency care.

your quote literally contradicts you

Perhaps you read the entire quote:

Correct -- this means non-ER doctors performing the operation are liable. Which means almost every doctor is liable and therefore must wait for an emergency and send them to the hospital. Whereas normally this operation would be performed in office way before it reached that stage.

Remember that these are non-viable pregnancies from the instant they are detected. Does having to wait for it to become a life-threatening emergency make it legal? Sure, the same way that it would be legal to treat you for an infection but only once the infection has become so severe you are literally about to die, if this law was about banning antibiotics.
