"Special note to Chairman Dean... a woman becomes a "mother" when the child lives."

I think I understand the point you are making here, Ditto.

But I would point out that a child begins to live as soon as a new human life begins.

And that happens, if I remember my high school biology well, at the moment of conception.

A child that is not-yet-born is still a child that lives.

And the woman who carries that child is still a mother.

I think, anyway.

Expectant Mother, perhaps?

But can one who "chooses" to cause the child's death, be considered a Mother in any sense of the word?
