Even if the physical danger passes, the mental scar of losing your child never heals. Causing death brings a lifetime of trauma and mental anguish; even worse, it leaves the woman in a moral limbo. Our society will become desensitised in permitting the killing of tiny, viable infants—babies who are currently protected by the law, which recognises that it is wrong to kill another human being, including a baby once it is viable after 24 weeks, with intent.
