depends on the case itself, not all babies can be saved, and also, the life of the mother is more important. She already has family, already is functional.

Years ago, some hospitals sacrificed the mother to save the Baby! That is absurd.

Plus, we arent talking baout women choosing to end the baby's life, we are talking baout saving the mother's life.

two different cases.

My sister had to abort her child about 24 years ago or so, she was about 3.5 months along, maybe 4. She had a toxemia, gained over 50 pounds by that time, her heart rate was skyrocketing, other health issues, the choice was die or abort.

Her next pregnancy resulted in a 5 week preemie...who is now 20 and a stone cold fox President's List College student basketball star in Mass!...and if I catch you looking, Uncle Jim will beat you like a red-headed step child!

I doubt you are going to catch me looking, unless this fox is male...then I might look. ; ) Also, while I am a redhead, I was never a stepchild as parents still married.

If someone is in imminent risk of dying (which is sometimes the case with toxemia), then maybe they need to do what they have to do. I wonder how often that happens in the grand scheme of things.

You won't convince this bunch. Some nice couple can adopt the newly orphaned baby. O HAPPY DAY.
