Which is why, you know, "parental rights and all" it's up to the mother to decide how to proceed, and what is in the best interests of them and their potential child. Or do you want the state making those decisions for the mother, and removing those rights from her? Nah, you are probably right. Ted Cruze knows best.

Interesting. Let's take it a step further. If from say 21 to 30 weeks there are complications and the doctors say, "we must deliver now to save mother and child," the mom could just say, "No, I don't want a baby that will have a lifetime of health difficulties."?
It's not about the state even, it's the doctors saying the baby can be saved. Can the mom say no anytime? Then what? Can the gyno just not deliver? Does she now have to find a specialist?
