Any time a woman gives birth, there is a potential that her life could be at risk. I very recently had a friend who was expecting, but the baby didn't have a brain stem. Doctors couldn't abort the pregnancy within the State without fear of legal action, so they carried the baby to term only to have it die merely minutes after birth.

That is not the life I would want for a child, nor expecting parents. To live with the notion that your baby will die as soon as it exits the womb for months is completely unbearable, let alone just the loss of the child. Months and months of anticipating death. My friends found solace in their religion, and thought the best thing for the child was to be blessed by a religious leader after birth, but not everyone has the mental strength or willpower to do what they did.

This Texas law is an abomination to unborn children and women.
