My amendment suggests "mitigate" instead of "avert". It is about interpretation and states that nothing is absolute. Unnecessary stuff happens. I seek to eliminate the wrong interpretation of what happens in the medical context. Mitigating means reduction, in order to protect the health and safety of the mother if a termination of pregnancy occurs. It applies where pregnancy substantially increases the risks associated with pre-existing medical conditions.

The word "mitigate" will bring it back to where it was before, while the word "avert" will mean that it is null and void, has gone away completely and been eliminated. That is the wording and interpretation we will be pushing for.
