This is not true. Most people, most doctors, want to follow the law in spirit even if they know it is easily circumvented. No law, no matter how clear, strict, or enforceable, can cleanly cover all scenarios nor be expected to catch, punish, or prevent all violations. There is always a combination of the law being enforced and people just getting away with things. That does not make laws pointless. They are a clear indication of expectations for law-abiding people, and they are a tool against those who most flagrantly violate it. If someone is ever prosecuted from this law, I guarantee it will not be someone who was trying to do the right thing for an individual woman's health, but rather the person who says "pregnancy is a medical emergency" and starts performing elective abortions. This is one of the beautiful things of a jury system, because a million pages of legalese would never close every loophole without punishing unintended targets, but a panel of regular people can tell when you're not even trying to follow the law.
