Nope. It's not. What you wrote is not inclusive of the extent of the interpretation of the law. Yes, the above is included, too, and would be one specific incident. But the proposed laws in both states are too broad and generalized, and can easily be used against abortion providers.
And read your own guy's statement: what happens the moment abortion is deemed illegal in that state?
We already have laws protecting those who are using self-defense against a threat against their life, and people who kill pregnant women in some states can be charged with two homicides.
Ask yourself - why does the above "unborn child" thing need to be added to those state laws, and in a very broad and non-specific manner? Whenever one passes a law, it's nice to know the intent, but the actual writing of the law often allows for other unintended (or not so unintended) consequences. There is great fears about that with the language of both the proposed laws.
