Because I'm asking what the difference is between a baby BEFORE it is born and a baby AFTER it is born. If it is simply LOCATION, then why is it okay on one hand and wrong on the other? I'm trying to point out that it is LIFE in both cases. If you are for LIFE and defending children (which you haven't said you are for or against - only pointed out that it is 'murder' - you didn't say if you were okay with it) then why not in all locations? > Serious questions - I'd love to hear your perspective.

I have heard of ONE case like this - only one - but it is broght up all the time, even here in Tennessee. I need to reveiw the details but my understanding is the person didn't die because the doctor was scared to give a simple procedure (yes, simple - my wife had a D&C after our first child was lost in a miscarriage in 1990). My understanding was there were other factors. The point being, women have miscarriages all the time, sadly, and medical procedures to take care of them still happen all the time. I've seen no proof that doctors are 'scared,' just rhetoric about it. .... The truth is out there...
