"As I understand it," Obama said during the floor debate, "this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child -however way you want to describe it - is now outside the mother's womb and the doctor continues to think that it's nonviable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead, that, in (act, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved." This, he argued, was too much to ask of a doctor performing abortions, and it could also, as he put it, "burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."
