Okay, okay, I read that and let my emotions lead my fingers. I'm thrilled to see so many pro-choice people also consider this murder. Frankly, the woman was more than halfway through her pregnancy (40 weeks). Here's an example from
Parents.com. The caption says,
"The end of this week is an important milestone: Your one-pounder would have a good chance of survival if born now--about 85 percent if given the right care. His body is well proportioned, although lacking in body fat, and the blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing. About 50 percent of "early preemies" experience complications ranging from eye problems to intracranial hemorrhage (spontaneous bleeding in the brain); the rate drops steadily from the 24th week onward." This child could definitely have lived, probably without health problems.
To the lawyers: I've been told that, in certain states, a woman can legally have an abortion up until the day before her due date, especially if the child is going to be a donor for a partial birth abortion. Is that true? While I consider myself pro-life, I really don't accept 100% of their literature without doubt.
