I feel so sorry for this poor woman. If she had been cared for correctly and received better medical care, she could be here with her children.

You cannot honestly believe that a one-pound baby is okay.  :roll: [/quote]

My mother sadly was diagnosed with cancer while my brother was in utero. After several miscarriages and still births, my Mom was determined to have this child. He arrived at 25 weeks gestation at 1# 4 oz. He struggled hard but pulled through and lived a life for 30 years. He was pretty healthy once he overcame the hole in his heart and lung growth restrictions. [/quote]

This is a story about a mother deciding to have a child - her autonomy fully respected. Very different from the state forcing it. [/quote]

And you are responding to a comment that is a response to the comment: “You cannot honestly believe that a one-pound baby is okay.”  — with a comment supporting the possibility that at least some babies born at very low birth weights may survive and be “pretty healthy”.  Not every comment in a conversation has to match the entire context of the original focus of the conversation.[/quote]

The baby was not healthy in that scenario and sounds like the mom may have compromised her own health. It is not persuasive that “some babies survive” when you are forcing women to do it against their will. If a woman willing undertakes that, it is totally different- although in some cases she cannot force the hospital to provide futile care to the baby. [/quote]
