 Sounds like pro-abortion argument to me, because if you flip it on the other end, they state shouldn't prevent procedures either. I know many will agree with that, but I think that wherever a parent will be negligent such to cause a child death, the state needs to step in, as its job is to protect LIFE, liberty, pursuit of hapiness for its citizens. Some of you in the name of "choice" will argue that if a baby hasn't come through the birth canal that it isn't alive anyway. I think many of us would say that a baby just before the point of delivery IS alive, and so the mother preventing it from living is negligent. Otherwise, why should the state step in and prevent a parent from letting a child starve to death? Should it force the parent to provide food? By your logic, Lou, why? The right of the mother not to have a scar trumps the right of the child to live? How can the state discern that? This isn't a trickiy gray area where there was a choice between the life of a mother and a baby - both were easily able to be protected.
