“I have never had anyone even attempt to answer”.
That’s because there isn’t a reasonable answer, Mupcat. If a woman is healthy enough to be induced... deliver vaginally after enduring a labor... and can push a baby 3/4th of the way out... she is dang near done with delivery. Ask any woman who has gone through childbirth... there is literally one more small push (after the doctor makes sure the cord isn’t around the neck). In fact, I may be going out here on a limb.. but to turn the baby around so it is delivered feet first (leaving the head in the birthing canal) is more dangerous to the woman.
My point exactly!. Bottom line--- it's just a phrase they use with no substance to justify abortion at any stage. Has noting to do with the life of the mother.
