And many don't consider abortion to be murder, including the US government... so you'd be the only one breaking the law, if you attempted to intervene in what a woman does with her womb & fetus.
Why would a baby need abortion insurance since it is already born? And in order to get the insurance, a parent would need to purchase it. If a parent is planning on aborting, why would they purchase it? And using the argument that a baby is a baby upon conception or whatever, who would get the money? The parent? Well then...
Thread makes no sense.

So as I said, it would be a "not by choice" kind of situation - right?? No doctor or state will allow elective abortions that late, thus your argument really isn't on topic here. If the ONLY choice is to abort or let the mother die, I don't think even the hardcore anti-abortionists would have a major issue with that... and in these cases, I imagine the mother was actually happy the baby survived. Totally not related to a woman choosing early/legal abortion, and hoping the outcome is as advertised.
Not only did Dr. Tiller allow it, he specialized in it.
As for the danger to her health crap, I can get a prescription for medical marijuana because feel depressed. Doesn't mean I need it.
Did you even bother to read the story about the English boy?
It's a whole different debate because I proved babies do survive abortion and insurance should be available to them to cover their special needs?
No, the "whole different debate" I was referring to was the medical need for some abortions... and trust me, there ARE cases where a mother has no choice. As for insurance covering their special needs ONCE BORN, that would be the same as insurance for any child with a disability. So I'm not sure how that relates to the OP, although I'm not even sure how reality is related to the original question. This whole discussion is quite silly, in fact.
FYI: Making abortion illegal wouldn't stop those situations you've cited... as even before Roe vs Wade, I'm pretty sure medically necessary pregnancy terminations were still allowed.

Should babies be offered the opportunity to get abortion insurance?
