Plus, we all know that any woman who has carried a pregnancy to term before is 100% likely to carry her second pregnancy to term. Like, duh. Everyone knows that.

Something doesn't sound right here. Also note this is a blog posting by someone other than the woman who lost this baby. Other than her water breaking early, there really isn't enough information in the article to tell us everything we need to know before coming to any conclusions.
How about a news article?

Quote:
Robb Deaver, an emergency room admission staffer, raced his wife to the hospital, hopeful when doctors told them the pregnancy was not necessarily over. Sometimes, women make more amniotic fluid, they said.
But the next day, an ultrasound showed little amniotic fluid around the baby and Danielle was confined to 24 hours bed rest.



Two days later, she consulted a perinatologist who diagnosed anhydramnios, a premature rupture of the membranes before a fetus has achieved viability.

Bolded text is your search term; it's the name of the condition that ended the pregnancy.

The following article contains more information. Apparently the father and mother spent some of the 8 days trying to save the pregnancy. She was also confined to bed rest trying to save the fetus. Their request was to induce delivery not perform an abortion.

Thanks for the link. The ABC article gives a much better explanation that the blog linked to in the OP. This is certainly a sad case. I'm thinking it might be time for Nebraska legislators to go back to the drawing board and find some other way to keep their constituents happy re: abortion.

Why do we need nanny government telling a woman when she can have an abortion?
Oh noes...here goes the race card again TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!

Here's President Bush signing the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act. Feel free to count how many people up there on stage with him are not white males.

The point was put a bit crassly, but that doesn't make it wrong.

And this is exactly why it is wrong for a room of men to legislate what a woman does with her body. Because of Nebraska state law, this baby was born deformed and suffered for 15 minutes before dying mercifully.
I dont mean this to be smart but was she a republican or conservative? People in this country vote against their own self interest all the time.

I disagree... why should constituents have any say in a woman's relationship with her uterus? I didn't realize that a woman's uterus was of any interest to the public. If her uterus causes constituents unhappiness, we've got big problems in Nebraska.

Many men are having fertility problems due to laptops overheating their testicles, but we certainly don't see government-restricted testicle temperature on the ballot anywhere

Where in the article does it say anything about the health of the mother? Where does it say anything about the mother's life being at risk? I don't see it anywhere. Therefore the need for an abortion is negated.

While the outcome would have been the same had she been induced, it's a matter of principle. When a family member becomes terminally ill, we don't euthanize them like a dog, we keep them comfortable and let them die a natural death. Why should it be any different for an unborn baby? It's not a matter of abortion, it's really a matter of euthanasia.

What I see here is shameless liberals in the media exploiting this woman's tragedy to advance their anti-life leftist agenda. Liberals truly are heartless creatures.
