If you think there is no risk to the mother going into an abortion clinic and having her living, feeling child in the 2nd trimester torn apart limb from limb without anesthesia to the child (because that's how they do it at that stage) as compared with a C-Section delivery in a medical setting, then accompanying the child in its dying process, you are very mistaken. Perforation of the uterus in 2nd trimester abortions are very frequent. Also, hydroencephaly is NOT profoundly rare. People deliver their innocent babies with this condition all the time, and choose to hold their children until natural death. You said, "That wasn't a life anymore than a plant is a life." WOW You know what, human beings don't suddenly lose their humanity because of a handicap or a developmental defect. I can't even believe you wrote such a thing. But I guess, tell yourself what you want to, since it was a family member. But that doesn't make it right or accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysl1tRnk-ig
