I did not claim that there was one and only one course followed upon the event of fetal death. Are you now making such a claim???

This is what you said:

It would be entirely common for a case of fetal death at a point up to 28 weeks to be treated via the insertion of laminaria followed by the performance of a dilatation and extraction

If you didn't mean that a d&x was the common procedure for fetal demise then why would you label it such?
And yes, I do stand by my assertation that an induced labor and normal delivery is standard for care for fetal demise.

So to the people who voted "illegal under all", can you please tell me if saving the mothers life is the ONE exception?

In this case, it would have enforced #3, but only at the direct cost of both #8 and #11. Who is the baby-killer in that latter scenario?
You are really stretching with this reasoning.

Saganista, you responded to a few of my posts but I've decided I will no longer respond to you because of the statement you have under your name. "Keep the illegals, deport the Republicans..." yeah. I find that pretty offensive. You support criminals who have no right to breathe American air over actual Americans.

I must not have noticed that earlier.

Everything should be legal except late term. There has to be a cutoff point. Beyond that, no further regulation. At all.

Abortion should be legal at all times in the first 3 months of pregnancy. After 3 months it should be legal only if testing shows defects in the fetus or it is found that the woman's health or life would be at risk. After 6 months it should only be legal to save the life of the mother or if testing reveals that the fetus is unlikely to survive.

I am speaking for those who can not speak for themselves. Would you be okay with it if your mother aborted you? How come the person whose life is being terminated has no say? Abortion is different from getting your lip pierced or having a sex change because it involves another person than just the women.

How is the life inside the women different from the life outside it? Development? Size? Age? No sh*t. The life won't even go through puberty till age 13.

Define "pro-abortion" and "pro-abortion rights"
