Gee, what a unique idea . . . let the baby live and then put him up for adoption . . . Didn't they used to do that years ago? That's what my birth mother did many years ago . . . in an orphanage . . . any of those around anymore?
The only concern I would have is where to house all of the preemies; as all of them will technically be. Many will no doubt be born too early, and will have chronic illnesses. People don’t want to adopt children with health problems, past or present. Even though pre-adoption care is paid for by tax dollars under the proposed method, there could be other issues down the road.
If even ten percent of women choose this route, the already overburdened foster and protective services systems, if you can call them that, will be even more overwhelmed. Historically, that has been bad for the children in its care, breeding abusive foster households, piss-poor reviews, and lots of psychological damage.
Solve those problems, and I’m all for it. I’m not a ProAb.
From a point of view of medical ethics, the doctor would be obliged to let the baby develop to full-term, because prematurity would impose unethical and unnecessary health risks to the baby.
Unfortunately, it has long been tacitly acknowledged that what the aborting woman believes she has a right to, is not just a terminated pregnancy, but a dead baby.
Way back in about 1978 or so, I remember the Chicago Sun-Times ran an article called "The Most Dreaded Complication" (or something like that) which was precisely, the birth of a live baby in the course of an attempted abortion.
It was pretty plain that nobody in the damn abortion business wants those babies to survive.
They WORSHIP it!

Looks like the court wanted the baby to be dead even if it killed the mother!!
I had 2 miscarriages, one vaginal birth, one emergency c-section, and one regular c-section.
One miscarriage was like a horrible, long period. One landed me in the hospital because I had an infection and would not stop bleeding after 6 weeks. I was anemic at that point.
I was up and moving around normally just 3 hours after the vaginal delivery (after being awake for almost 40 hours, with 15 of those spent in labor, I was a tad tired).
It took me several days to recover from the c-section both times and the post-OP was even longer.
The body was engineered to give birth naturally, vaginally. C-sections are meant as a last resort for a reason.
I understand where you are going, but you will never get there with this approach. I say this as a former advisory board member for a pro-life group.
Baal demands that worshipers provide more and more human sacrifices. The more innocent the better.
There’s also this thing called *adoption*.
That would be better than making the baby a ward of the state cause we all know what happens when the government gets its paws on anything.
