Is that murder?(Happened to a friend of mine 2 years ago)
Baloney. Never heard of it. Besides....even IF such a condition exists, nothing says you must stick scissors in the back of the baby's head on the way down and kill it, does it? That's certainly NOT necessary to save a woman's life. Lots of babies live when born at 7 months.
There is a condition that fits this situation. I believe that it arises when the baby has a positive RH factor in their blood and the mother is RH negative.
However, it happens only with subsequent pregnancies and is preventable. Also, if the pregnancy lasted 7 months, there is no reason why there could not be an attempt to have a live birth.
Fair enough - I see your point. In my friends case, the baby was so under developed at 7 months that the baby died, but may have lived if she had waited. The problem was the baby was poisoning her system and she could have died as well.

But now that I see your description, I can see that you do not consider that an abortion, but rather an unfortunate circumstance.

Thank you for your response
