If that were true, then the mother wouldn’t be kept on life support. Contrary to popular opinion, abortion is not the simple removal of a fetus, it’s killing the fetus. If the fetus is dead, it can be removed or delivered without an abortion. The articles written on this subject don’t include those level of detail. But.
