Am I wrong? And correct me cause I'm not so bright. That appeared to mean, only if the baby wouldn't survive anyways and to save the mother? That's the intent right? If I'm wrong, please just tell me.
Think I read the law abolishes the survival protections of the baby. That seems to suggest that if the attempted abortion fails and the baby survives they are free to kill it.

I haven't read all the posts, but does this also mean that a murder will not be charged with a double homicide for killing a pregnant mother even if the birth is days from happening?
What a stupid post. You know just as well as anyone else that the subject who kills a woman in any stage of pregnancy can be charged with fetal homicide.

But why would they?
Unless American doctors and whatever medical practitioners are absolute monsters....
Expecting only reassurance, Kate knitted a pink sweater for Laurel while chatting freely with the technician who quickly grew silent. There was a big black spot on Laurel’s brain. “This baby is different,” the technician said. She left the room and returned with a maternal fetal specialist and a specialist in training.
“That’s when they started telling me,” Kate says. The fetus had Dandy-Walker malformation, a set of abnormalities of the cerebellum.
“The problems we didn’t see last time, we are seeing today,” said the specialist. She offered Kate adoption and abortion, “if it was still a legal option”. They used to send women to Kansas for abortions, she told her, but that was before Dr Tiller was shot in the face at a Sunday church service.
Kate asked if children with Dandy-Walker malformation are ever normal. “Yes,” said the specialist.
“And that, honestly, is so hard to hear because you just want something definitive”, Kate recalls. “On the one hand, of course you want your child to be normal. On the other hand, you want to know, is your kid going to be okay, is your kid going to receive a devastating diagnosis?” But the specialist had no definitive answers and recommended an MRI to determine whether Laurel would be okay or “incompatible with life”.
Kate couldn’t get the MRI for the next 48 hours. The wait was excruciating. At home, she could find no peace and substituted knitting her baby’s sweater for sleeping. She curled up on her living room sofa and cried until her husband scooped her up each night and took her to bed.
“When you’re imagining futures beyond the miracle happy ending, it’s sinking in,” she says.
The day of the MRI finally arrived. She was 35 weeks, 0 days. By the end of it, Kate and her husband had the hardest answers they’ve ever received.
Their daughter had moderate to severe Dandy-Walker malformation. But that wasn’t the only diagnosis; Laurel also had a brain condition in which fluid builds up in the ventricles, eventually developing into hydrocephalus and possibly crushing her brain. She had a congenital disorder too, in which there was complete or partial absence of the broad band of nerve fibers joining the two hemispheres of the brain.
What this meant was Laurel was expected to never walk, talk, or swallow. That was if she survived birth.
Kate asked her doctor: “What can a baby like mine do? Sleep all the time?”
“Babies like yours are not generally comfortable enough to sleep,” the neurologist said.
“That is when it became very clear what I wanted to do,” she says. “The MRI really ruled out the possibility of good health for my baby.”

i love how these members are so passionate about this life.!!!!!!!!
but then you get in other threads and they seem pretty callous.
about life in general and treatment of people that are you know. alive.
getting them scopes dialed in
but the babies man
Lol you came back to double down, everyone is on the same page except you.
..
People are compassionate about helpless beings that have zero choice, not for grown humans who make stupid decisions.
What kind of a loser do you have to be to have so much unprotected sex that you would need to kill this thing inside you asap before it grows into a human.
Then on the flip side, 90% of the women showing up for abortions are the bottom of the barrel, the losers of society that will.probably cause more problems for society then contribute.
There were times when these losers would be killed before they could even have babies.
Catch 22, do you make the cum dumpsters have their kids so people are not responsible for actually killing a baby or be happy the losers are not breeding ?
Bottom of the barrel cum dumpsters.
Got it
You're just proving my point.
You lot care about some life.
It's all negotiable.

A baby is not a baby unless a woman wants it to be a baby.

my memo said a baby is not baby if it is not born.

ever think to consider that a person could have a child that they consider a baby, one, or two year old and be pregnant at the same time?? it might be a stupid position to be in, but it was one that I found myself in!! and yes, the doctor was yelling at me at every visit to stop lifting the kids, which I didn't have really much choice about!!!

by the way, we've been here so many times before, I have brought the same stories as these to your attention plus plenty more. I've gotten tired of tracking down the sources to the stories and posting them and well, I know that you have been provided links to them many times...

so, no, I don't see you backing up the allegation that groups are "forcing" abortions on women in third world countries, you haven't provided any links to stories of babies being ripped from their mother's wombs days before their birth date.

Tens of millions of pounds of UK aid money have been spent on a programme that has forcibly sterilised Indian women and men, the Observer has learned. Many have died as a result of botched operations, while others have been left bleeding and in agony. A number of pregnant women selected for sterilisation suffered miscarriages and lost their babies.
The UK agreed to give India £166m to fund the programme, despite allegations that the money would be used to sterilise the poor in an attempt to curb the country's burgeoning population of 1.2 billion people.
Sterilisation has been mired in controversy for years. With officials and doctors paid a bonus for every operation, poor and little-educated men and women in rural areas are routinely rounded up and sterilised without having a chance to object. Activists say some are told they are going to health camps for operations that will improve their general wellbeing and only discover the truth after going under the knife.
...
Court documents filed in India earlier this month claim that many victims have been left in pain, with little or no aftercare. Across the country, there have been numerous reports of deaths and of pregnant women suffering miscarriages after being selected for sterilisation without being warned that they would lose their unborn babies.
Yet a working paper published by the UK's Department for International Development in 2010 cited the need to fight climate change as one of the key reasons for pressing ahead with such programmes. The document argued that reducing population numbers would cut greenhouse gases, although it warned that there were "complex human rights and ethical issues" involved in forced population control.

thats how i feel about people who think of some of these women as bottom of the barrel cum dumpsters.
it is what it is
What...in the world... There is something really wrong with you. First of all, when you claimed that "what about a woman who is charged with murder for picking up her baby, or falling downstairs" you did not say that "she is pregnant and also has a 2 year old... You keep making s#it up as you go along. BTW, you have NEVER provided any case from New York showing how "a woman was charged with murder of her unborn for falling downstairs..." Don't claim you have, because you have not.
