You've obviously never lived in Africa.

After about 2 weeks of agonizing over what to do, they had the doctor do the C-Section. The doctor, in the mean time was consulting with other doctors in neighboring countries on the proper procedures. As it turned out, she did have a few minor complications, but both mother and baby were fine.

Unfortunately, the pro-choice / pro-life issue is not as black and white as some wish to believe.

or is, the mother and baby are doing fine, the mother chose the life of her baby and god blessed her with a doctor who was able to make the cut.

No, I have not lived in Africa. However, it doesn't take living there to know that having an abortion when a doctor isn't qualified for c-sections is NOT the answer. The answer is doctors who are better trained for handling pregnancy and labor. Don't ask me how that is going to happen, but it's the right answer. The moral solution isn't always the easiest one. I am glad to hear that everyone survived! They are probably relieved that they chose to try to save both mother and child.
