If the baby is not viable, Texas law allows for an abortion. PERIOD!

This is ridiculous. Docs have always done “therapeutic abortions” when the mother’s life is in danger. In the old days, if there was a life-threatening delivery with few options, they would call the family and/or clergyman and ask, “Shall I save the mother or the baby?”

We should rule the world by anecdote. If we can find JUST ONE EXCEPTION in a world of nearly 8 billion people, then that anecdote should determine the law.

It's the hysterical progressive Democrat way.

Exactly.

There is a not a doctor in the world that would allow that to happen. If the fetus is not viable, its not an abortion.

The Texas law is pretty clear about that. Journalists should actually read the law. It’s written plainly.

If the baby is already dead, it isn’t an abortion. When a fetus dies the woman’s body will usually go into labor on it’s own, and within days. I have seen this happen twice to one of my daughters.
This woman did not get sepsis because she had a dead fetus in her womb. She just didn’t want to have to go through labor.
I’ll bet had she carried the baby to term she would have insisted on a c section to avoid labor.

The left is trying to make this a mother’s life issue, except that there is no danger to the mother to carry a dead fetus for days, or even months. My sister carried a dead fetus for three months, and two of my daughters have had this problem. One of them carried the dead fetus for 7 months.
