I'll echo that. From what we have seen with the registry and those who have come forward to the registry, there is a stark contrast between what is forced and coerced and what is a life-saving procedure. At the expert panel, we have reviewed cases and applications that have come forward that have involved a life-saving procedure in an emergency. Some of those have not made it into the registry because the criteria were not met for forced and coerced sterilization. I just wanted to say that.
The purpose of the bill is not to punish physicians for performing perfectly lawful procedures. It's for women who did not consent and do not consent in what are predominantly vulnerable circumstances, such as childbirth, being completely unconscious and other situations like that.
