I do not think the vast majority of pro-lifers have any problem with allowing a child who is born with a terminal condition that will cause death in a relatively short period of time from having palliative care, or allowing the parents to hold those children in those tender moments before the child passes.
If a baby born is born with a terminal condition that will cause that child's death in a relatively short period of time, I think most people would agree that the parent's should be able to forego life prolonging measures and live and love on their infant as long as they are able, in whatever way they choose.
I do think pro-lifers have a valid point if the condition that caused the terminal condition was inflicted on the child by a botched late-term abortion procedure. I understand (and agree) with those who don't distinguish between that death and some SOB punching his pregnant ex-girlfriend in the belly when she is 8 1/2 months pregnant. (Or, for that matter, those who call for accountability for mother of a drug addicted child who dies as a result of toxicity soon after birth.) I know this is a point upon which we will disagree, but I am also understand where our difference of opinion here lies so that I don't need to call you names,
.
However, w someone is terminating a pregnancy of an otherwise healthy late-term child, I doubt sincerely that the mother or the health care provider gives a rat's arse about the comfort of that baby born by "accident" due to the failed procedure. The notion that the same provider who was just trying to vacuum out that baby's brains is now going to provide highest level comfort and palliative care to that dying infant? Nah, I don't see it. I sure don't see that mother cradling that infant in her arms as the baby dies. No, that baby likely died a hard, painful death on a cold table, outside the touch of loving hands here on earth.
Further complicating the decision to provide life sustaining care in the "live birth after failed abortion" scenario are the stories of "abortion survivors." I have absolutely no doubt these are exceedingly rare. However, for me, the number doesn't need to be any higher than "1" for it to be meaningful and relevant in my decision making.
