Does anyone have a record of the earlies prematurely born baby that survived?
I know my mother works with children with developmental delays, and she has one girl who was born slightly before the third trimester began....she was smaller than a dollar bill, and is doing fine (relatively...she has a few handicaps that are being dealt with).
Just food for thought...I'd be interested to see the earliest born premie.
Just for the record, I'm weighing into this debate witht the following mindset: strictly anti-abortion in the concrete, ie concerning me directly, openmindedly pro-life in the abstract, for society.

Hypothetical situation:
A biologist takes sperm and an egg and puts them in a petri dish, with-in the hour conception will occur. Is it murder if the biologist takes the dish and cleans it twenty minutes later, even if conception had not occured ?

If you believe life begins at conception, that would be the petri-dish equivalent of birth control...not allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg. Otherwise, it depends on your definitions.
