Many women with life threatening conditions get stuck waiting for the inevitable because they have already created evidence by going to a doctor. If anything happens to the baby without evidence of natural causes, they can be prosecuted. This has put women in a tough place.

- Thorrez 3y agoHmm, I now realize I may have misunderstood the phrase "a life-threatening abortion". I can think of 4 meanings: 1. an abortion to end a pregnancy that threatens the life of the mother 2. an abortion to end a pregnancy where the fetus's life is already threatened 3. an abortion that threatens the life of the mother 4. an abortion that threatens the life of the fetus Your first link only matches meaning 4. But meaning 4 is tautological, so I'm not sure it makes sense. In the second link no one was prosecuted. In neither link was a doctor prosecuted.
