The baby was viable at 24 weeks (even at 22 weeks) and each week they could have waited would have increased the baby's chances for a normal life according to this link at the American Academy of Pediatrics:

The doctor's could have induced labor immediately, or in a couple of weeks, instead of slaughtering another helpless innocent "developing normally". I doubt that an abortion was medically any less risky than an induced labor would have been on this victimized and retarded woman. Meanwhile another couple waits in vain to adopt a baby.

Except it's not their baby. The baby is not the property of the community to be passed around or sold to the highest bidder. I'd really like to see a solution from the pro-lifers instead of all this gnashing of teeth.
