Wait how is the child alive without a head?!
75% of preborn babies with acrania spontaneously abort or miscarry. The remainder are able to survive for hours, days, or weeks, which can only be a painful and traumatizing experience for all involved.
Medically speaking, the only part of your brain necessary for "survival" is the brain stem, but obviously this is not something we should consider a life. As for why doctors err on the side of caution in not aborting, it's because they're scared of being sued. Otherwise that woman in Texas wouldn't have nearly bled to death because doctors could only remove the fetus from her infected uterus when the heartbeat stopped.
This is the problem with "medical exceptions" being enshrined into law and why ever since
Dobbs I've become less supportive of time restrictions; the only reason a woman would have an abortion so late in a pregnancy is for medical reasons and the people writing these laws don't know what the f#ck they're doing.
