I'll concede the point on the medical necessity part -- especially when there is a zero chance of survival outside the womb.
If this is the case, then I'm in favor of what the court in San Fran did. If this is done out of medical necessity, then I'm all for it.
Your last example though, is one where the baby could have been delivered by c-section or (potentially) naturally. I think the death in that situation of a 23-week old child was unnecessary as it would have potentially been viable outside the womb.
As always, there will be some exceptions to the rule. Perhaps some allowance should be made for medical necessity (but with VERY strict rules, again, I'd be satisfied with nothing less than violations of these rules counting as murder in the first degree).

As for GP, yeah, they taught me in Catholic schools that our church was based on tradition going back to the time of Christ AND the Bible. Don't want to get into a religious debate with protestants though. That's just the way the Catholic church is. And we're bigger, so
