In early 2010, the Nebraska state legislature passed a new abortion restricting law asserting a new, compelling state interest in preventing fetal pain. In this article, we review existing constitutional abortion doctrine and note difficulties presented by persistent legal attention to a socially derived viability construct. We then offer a substantive biological, ethical, and legal critique of the new fetal pain rationale.
2010 年初，内布拉斯加州州立法机关通过了一项新的堕胎限制法，声称在防止胎儿疼痛方面存在新的、强制性的州利益。在本文中，我们回顾了现有的宪法堕胎原则，并注意到持续关注社会衍生的生存能力结构所带来的法律难题。然后，我们对新的胎儿疼痛理由进行了实质性的生物、伦理和法律批判。
