[QUOTE=Aangelica] I particularly didn’t view it as a pro-life stance. Possibly because during the operation scene, my husband turned to me and said “You know you’d better have had the abortion like 20 minutes ago, right?” [/QUOTE] I thought about that, too. She didn’t have a husband or partner, or any family at all at her side. Nobody that she loved was standing beside her, begging her not to risk her life, and I think there would be in a real life case. ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] I’d have enjoyed this episode more if they didn’t blow a major plot point. They hammered home that at 21 weeks, the baby was not yet developed enough to be delivered. I’m hoping that this was just a matter of that being the case when this episode was filmed, because [it’s not the case anymore](http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21256291-5001021,00.html). [/QUOTE] They didn’t blow the plot point. In\* this\* case it was not viable at all. It’s lungs were not developing properly which is why the surgery and steroids were needed.
