If they had been born alive at 23 weeks, once they drew their first breath and Gosnell killed them, then he would have been guilty of murder. You cannot legally "abort" a baby that has already been born alive.

FYI, a baby has been born at 21 weeks, five days, and survived. There are limited instances where the time of gestation can be determined precisely, so it is very possible that even babies born even more prematurely have survived. I don't personally know anybody who would argue that a breathing baby is a fetus - nor do I want to..

I'm all for a baby getting help to live if it can. I'm all for Gosnell being tried for murder. I'm all for the federal version of the born alive bill, and Obama has stated that he is too. But, abortions are legal up until 22 weeks, and I understand that up until that point, that I have no right to tell a mother she can't have one. And, you don't either. If a child lives after being born alive, I'm all for it. Other than that, if it doesn't interfere with RvW, I'm fine with it.
