Abortion or Life?
From the Telegraph:
The parents of a premature baby born below the legal abortion limit spoke of their 'miracle' after they took her home for the first time on Monday.
Ellie-Suzanne Fish was born four months premature on September 3 last year, five days before the current limit of 24 weeks.
She weighed 1lb 4.7oz and was given just a 10 to 15 per cent chance of survival then had to endure three operations, including two on the brain.
But she is now nine months old and a healthy 14lbs, and has been allowed out of hospital for the first time.
Ellie-Suzanne was born before the day the law recognized her as having any rights or being a person. So what was her status once born? She suddenly became a person with rights because her location has changed? Births like her shows the arbitrariness of the current law trying to draw lines after conception.
"Births like her shows the arbitrariness of the current law trying to draw lines after conception."
Amen and amen!
