>>Does the baby's status change because the parents love him or her and want their child to be delivered safely so they can hold in their arms what the mother now holds in her womb?<<

According to the law, it's worse than that.

If your mother (not your parents) wants you dead, you die. Period.

I have the feeling that this "legal" reality is much more destabilizing, psychologically, than we have so far recognized.

It is not a coincidence that legal maneuvers to immunize women from the consequences of their actions (the 'battered woman" defense, in particular) have arisen after 1972. The Father G-d of the Old and New Testament was a Creator who did not allow us to kill each other. The Mother god of Roe v. Wade is Shiva under the mask, and we must be very, very careful not to displease her.

Shiva? Nah, I'd say Kali.
