Many people see the fetus as a person. I venture that every person on this planet was a fetus at one time.
Come to think of it, the statement that all humans were once fetuses is one of the few absolutes we come across in life.
Radical libertarians seek absolute freedom. The concept of absolute freedom is paradoxical because it entails the freedom to take another person's freedom.
Classical liberals would recognize the paradox and realize that people do not have a freedom to take the lives of others.
This means that abortion falls into the murky grounds of moral philosophy.
Because abortion lies in a murky paradoxical area, I think that the legislation you mentioned is in order. It confronts people with the moral tradition that holds that human fetuses are people. It goes further by providing an alternative.
Classical liberalism holds that the primary purpose of government is to product the liberty of the people. Many hold that pre-born babies are people; So, this law falls squarely into the proper role of government.
