I couldn't actually find the text that legalizes killing infants after 7 days
But still
(a) Reproductive justice is a framework created by Black women in 1994 to address the intersectional and multifactored issues that women of color and their families face in society.
Yeah, it doesn't say anything about 7 days. I think this is the part:
Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.
The critics are hanging on that last line and somehow interpreting that to mean "1 week", and I would interpret the first phrase to mean that other laws like murder still apply.
But I'm curious what a real sober analysis of that would be. The article here didn't actually quote the important part.
The performance of an abortion is unauthorized if performed by someone other than the pregnant person and if either of the following is true:
(b) The abortion is performed on a viable fetus, and both of the following are established:
(1) In the good faith medical judgment of the physician, the fetus was viable.
(2) In the good faith medical judgment of the physician, continuation of the pregnancy posed no risk to life or health of the individual.
From how understand it, this bill prohibits prosecution of self induced abortions without a physician IF the fetus was already dead and/or posing a risk to the "individual's" *cough* woman's *cough* health.

The perinatal part is the loophole
