There are several issues here that haven't been mentioned.

1) Two other articles I read stated that the woman was mentally ill.

2) This happened in Utah, one of the far-right-wing-fundamentalist states.

3) They took the twin that was born alive away from her and had it adopted, which is permanent, not temporary.

RESPECT FOR LIFE?

When the far-right fundies stop sending young people off to war to be killed, then they can have a say in abortions and issues like this one.

When the far-right fundies abandon their position on capital punishment, then they can discuss abortion.

When the far-right fundies will adopt babies who are born unwanted or damaged because of lack of abortions, then they can have a say.

When the far-right fundie government provides pre- and neo-natal care and education to poor black women in the inner cities of America, then they can talk about birth choices.

When the far-right fundies demonstrate a respect for ALL life, not just fetal life, then perhaps their position will be less hypocritical. I'm sure that if they could send fetuses off to war they would think about it hard.

As it is, abortion for these people is nothing more than a control issue for these pious hypocrites, period.
