This is the one event that is unambiguous, not subject to debate, and does not require the consent of the woman to evaluate. That's what makes it a bright line. Is that baby born? Yes/no. Every other qualifier is subject to either subjective judgement or the consent of the woman to determine. They aren't as bright.
