I come here at times to read discussions on this board of current events. Since this board leans heavily to the left, I am often interested in the views on certain topics.
I didn't see any discussion on New York's passage of abortions up to delivery. I had a discussion with a nurse and a doctor over the weekend. They confirmed my understanding from the medical side that included what would happen in a medical emergency. There are special cases, but a wreck, fall, or other trauma that put the mother at risk are managed from a medical priority. Pregnancies at risk with a known condition that puts the mother at risk are most often identified long before the baby is full term. This allows doctors to deliver a baby early or in some cases abort the pregnancy long before the fetus could live on its own. Last minute issues and emergencies don't change the requirement that a full term baby will have to be delivered. Aborting a full term baby doesn't eliminate risk to the mother. The difference is a live birth vs still born birth.
I would like to understand the excitement for this law. I see no reason for the celebrations regardless of your views on abortion.
