Abortions are legal at points where premature births can and do happen. There is physiologically zero difference between the being being legally aborted at this point or illegally murdered.

Well, there are a couple of things I want to say then.
First, in regards to the story, the reason I wanted to read it for myself is that it seems alittle suspicious and not beyond what some in the far right of the pro-life movement would invent or "embellish" and then tell and retell as a "SEE??? I TOLD YOU!!!"
Therefore, I don't think your story can really be brought into this conversation as proof of anything, since we can't even be sure it happened, and if it did, what the circumstances were.
Now to your other point,
After much thought (previous to this thread, btw), I've come to the conclusion that in the third trimester, it is reasonable to place some restrictions on abortions, such as only for the health of the mother. I've come to this conclusion because a) the woman has had 2 trimesters to REALLY consider her options and b) the fetus is getting closer and closer to the point that I would consider it a "person", so much so that I don't feel comfortable with a decision to abort it at this time due only to convenience.
If the mother doesn't want the baby at this point, I feel that adoption should be the option.
