Please note
: There are 2 existing human beings involved. Not just one. 177 posted on 05/25/2003 9:49 AM EDT by Concentrate I don't belive a DU denizen would make such a statement. Concentrate is definitely a Freeper and pro-life. And the point is well made, too, there ARE two human beings in this equation; both are dependant on others for life support.

Why can't they just take the baby by c-section at the point of being medically necessary for the mother's health? It would not even require general anesthesia and be over in about 20 minutes and the tubal can be done at the same time. It isn't as difficult as they make it out to be since the baby is developing normally according to the doctor's.
I am sure there would be someone more than willing to adopt the infant since the grandmother doesn't seem up to the task of raising a child.

At 23 weeks, the intentional abortion and tubal ligation is just as risky as delivering a living child. There is no reason to kill the child to deliver him.
As of a week ago, her own doctors cancelled a scheduled abortion, because she was fine and the baby was fine. The intervention will change all that.

And all that would/should tell these people is what to be prepared for when the baby is born - which could be delivered by C-section. This is an outrage. ADOPTION is ALWAYS A CHOICE. You are correct on all counts and I applaud you for the courage to say it. Most, if not all, of the nay-sayers in this thread refuse to admit to the humanity of the child or her mother. Those who concede the species of the unborn child insinuate that the possibility of it being deformed justifies its murder. I find these responses to be as tragic as the original situation.

Shame on me? Your priorities are out of whack, lady. I'm not the one ordering the murder of an innocent little baby.

It would seem that a possible risk to a mentally retarded woman with serious health problems outweighs a definite and fatal solution for a currently normally developing baby. Nothing in the article indicates the woman is in particular danger right now, only that a late-term pregnancy might be dangerous. I'm not ignoring the problems, but why not wait and see if anything adverse actually starts before killing the child?I agree completely. Try to save both lives. Give the mother the very close attention she needs, monitor the baby's development, and hope the either-or decision never comes up. If the mother's life ever comes in imminent danger, then I agree the judge can invoke the mother's right to self-defense. Otherwise try for a healthy baby and maybe that child will be the one blessing to come out of this otherwise tragic event.
