In reply to the discussion: Alabama Supreme Court Rules That Frozen Embryos Are 'Children' [View all]republianmushroom
(13,829 posts)47. now texas is arguing a fetus isn't a baby and doesn't have rights
female prison guard 7 month pregnant
has labor pains on the job
prison doesn't let her leave for hours
baby is still born
hospital says if she got there earlier they could have saved the fetus
