It all depends on two things. Who is the legal guardian of our children, the state or parents? If parents, how much liberty do we trust them with?

Currently, we trust them with a lot. They can kill the child, for the child's own good of course, as long as the child hasn't left the womb yet.

Oh, wait, that's the problem here. No she can't.

But Roe v Wade is the law of the land. Yes she can.

I suspect that the best answer today's culture warriors can give is, she can kill her child as long as she's not killing it because of a religious belief against modern medicine. If that's her motivation then the state must step in and save the child.

Oops! The mind is being boggled again. See post #3.

Shalom.

Actually you seem to be incorrect ArGee. There is a procedure called "Induced-Labor Abortion" and is currently being practiced at Christ Hospital [Oak Lawn, IL]. This is where the baby is delivered alive and then left to die.

The practical solution is to get get a killing permit from the government, for a small fee of course, to cover the expense of a review board and management costs.
