Applicability is left up to the courts to decide, when the provision should have never been put into the bill in the first place. Leaving it up to interpretation as to whether a doctor can be charged with murder for not performing a medically impossible procedure is a really fucking bad way to legislate.
I think it's more just to plug a possible future loophole, in the intended no abortion anymore bill.
Think about it. What if a similar bill happened back in the 1700's about heart transplants. There would possibly be an "if applicable" clause in there too. NOW, not doing a necessary heart transplant would be... criminal. Then...as it was still undoable...the clause would've had to be there.
I just think the bill is the politicians plugging any loopholes, and the article is just to rile people up.
