I've been through a C-section. If the baby is full term or almost full term and about to die why would she even want a dead rotting fetus inside her? At least they can save the baby and she doesn't have to go through labor just to deliver a corpse. A C-section can be painful but seriously it's not that big of a deal. I was up and walking through the grocery store within 3 days of STARTING labor. I went through 21 hours of labor before having the c-section and still recovered almost as fast as a normal delivery. My stitches were out in 2 days and I have nearly no scar left only 4 years later. What's the big deal?

She showed reckless endangerment for the health of her children. Ultimately this is what she was convicted of.
I believe in the right of a woman to choose whether she carries a child or not, but once that decision is made, she should have showed more responsibility. |

I have a major problem with a 'fetus' being referred to as a "theoretical person." That in itself is absolute BS. So, after nine months of growing, this "theoretical person" in a matter of minutes, suddenly becomes a person with full legal rights???

There is a difference from becoming a minor-adult and from clump of cells-complete baby with rights. Whole different ballgame there.......let's use the cliche of 'comparing apples and oranges' here.

The reasoning behind that is by 18 the person is well and truly an adult. Or, at least, is supposed to be. It's the same deal with unborn babies.

Anyways, there is a difference between the 17-18 switch and the n/a-1day switch. At 17, you still have rights, you still are a human, you can think for yourself. Yet, somehow the difference of 1 second can turn a clump of cells that has no meaning to you whatsoever into a HUMAN.

Once they're born, that's fine. As I said, that's my compromise. I don't care about "full term".
There's nothing unusual about my position. It's very conservative. It used to be very common not to name children for a time after birth due to the frequency that they'd not survive their first so many days. |
