Only some jurisdictions trigger multiple murder counts if a woman is pregnant. Fetus becomes infant at birth. One often uses drawing a breath as the 'standard' but I don't believe that it's legal.

Now, it is. My point continues to be that the reaction from the onlookers is curious.

Only if they don't make the distinction themselves. Additionally it is curious you ignored the other aspect, the part where we've all held scissors so we can imagine it happening where most of us have not held other medical equipment on a regular basis.
If so, then why insist on it.

Riiiight...and mothers in higher end facilities have been known to be anesthetized. We just haven't decided to make that the norm. It's not all that far-fetched of an ideal.

The mother is anesthetized, you were talking about the fetus.
