Please. Explain to us medical experts that have delivered babies a instance where intentional killing of the child is needed to save the mother's life. Of course, a C-section or induced delivery is abortion of the pregnancy, but not of the infant. How you you define "late term"? I've clearly stated many times that prior to the age of viability (age at which the child can live outside the mother's womb with or without medical assistance) it may be necessary to terminate a pregnancy due to the mother's health. At that point, it is entirely up to her whether to proceed with the pregnancy and risk her life, or end the pregnancy. After the age of viability, a women should not have the right to end the pregnancy without adequate medical reasons, even then, it should be done in a manner that it safest for the mother and the infant. I can think of absolutely no time ever that a dismemberment abortion of a live infant has been needed to save a mother's life and no better options were available. A dead baby? Yes, but that's not the discussion we're having.
