This is not abortion, this is murder. That is what he was charged with and rightly so.
What I don't understand is the arguement about doing a late stage abortion to save the life of the mother. That makes no sense. If the mother's life is in danger you could deliver the child, not kill it. How does the death of a child save the mother's life?
About the only case I would even consider a late stage abortion, and that is iffy, is in a case where the child would not possible survive after the birth due to defects or disorders. In that case I can understand a mother deciding to have the child born earlier to spare more pain to the family, but even in that case the child should never be murdered, just allowed a natural death. I do know of several situations where this has been the case and the mothers have all chosen to carry to term. I can't imagine how painful that must be.
