‘proceed at this point, solely under him being named the personal representative of the estate,”
I don’t mean to sound cynical, but what estate?
That being said I really hope Mager wins. My gut feeling is.....not likely.
Long ago my friend Mary D. told me that her unborn baby Bridget was a named beneficiary on a health insurance plan --- she got, and insurance paid for, prenatal surgery ---and was therefore (at that time, 40 years ago in PA) was a Legal Person. We both speculated that if you left a bequest or designated money or property for an unborn baby it would at least complicate anybody's decision to kill that baby, because the baby would have an "estate."
You could at least file for Wrongful Death.
Well, at last somebody's doing it. May God prosper them.
It might even be a way to make baby-killing illegal again.
Fascinating. Definitely a case to follow.
My concern here is that if he has right to protect his child ( which I do indeed think he ought to and should) then contrarily he could have the right to demand his child be killed.
Better to just promote the personhood of the child - no one has the right to kill a baby. And all should be interested in protecting the child.
