What do these states think they have to gain with this? I know they're coming at it from a "think of the children" point of view, and are fully willing to ignore the criticisms that a potential child shouldn't have more rights than a realized adult.
But why do these people think this is an issue for the State? I'm thinking here about when this eventually goes to SCOTUS... What is the State's vested interest in denying health care to people who can conceive fetuses?
