There are several problems with this law. 1. It makes a statement and energizes its proponents but does little else. It is rarely used. But if it is needed, there are alternatives, more risky and expensive ones, but alternatives still, such as the one you suggest. It is unlikely to make any dent in the abortion numbers. 2. It doesn't provide an out for the health of the woman, which has already been ruled unconstitutional. 3. A large number of states already have laws against it. This is state jurisdiction, not federal. The party of states rights should know and respect that. Nonetheless, voters either don't know or don't care about such things. It is emotional and not smart politically to be against.
