So, medication abortions which are very safe and non invasive are illegal but a surgical procedure where you cut a baby out of a woman are okay as an outpatient procedure? Bananas.
A new law in Florida allowing doctors to perform cesarean sections in outpatient birthing centers has raised serious safety concerns among medical experts, who say the procedures carry a small but real risk of life-threatening complications and should not be undertaken outside hospitals.

Emory primatologist Frans de Waal remembered for bringing apes ‘a little closer to humans’
Beginning with his groundbreaking 1982 book “Chimpanzee Politics,” Frans de Waal pioneered studies of primate cognition and shattered long-held ideas about what it means to be an animal — and a human.
