I am going to post the highlighted text because the tweet is misleading. If you read what the highlighted text says compared to what the tweet claims I think you'll see what I mean. Highlighted text:
"This bill would delete the requirement that a coroner hold inquests for deaths related to or following known or suspected self-induced or criminal abortion, and would delete the requirement that an unattended fetal death be handled as a death without medical attendance. The bill would prohibit using the coroner’s statements on the certificate of fetal death to establish, bring, or support a criminal prosecution or civil cause of damages against a person who is immune from liability based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, or who aids a pregnant person in exercising their rights under the Reproductive Privacy Act, as specified."
I am curious, what part of this bans somebody from investigating the death of a baby? As far as I can tell the quoted section gets rid of a requirement that coroner's "hold inquests for deaths related to or following known or suspected self-induced or criminal abortion", changes the way an "unattended fetal death" is handled, and prohibits using a coroner's findings to bring a complaint against the party that provided you the abortion. None of that suggests you can no longer investigate the cause of your babies death does it?
I feel like it's bare minimum effort to make sure something quoted or highlighted says what you claim it does.
