    In that situation it is clearly wrong not to help, because in the case of a miscarriage the fetus would die also presumably. And many Christians would agree.

    Many wouldn’t. The ones that wouldn’t tend to be more well-financed and politically well-connected in my home town of Houston. And therein lays the rub.

    But for cases of no risk to the mother

    There is no such thing as a “no risk” pregnancy. The question every expectant mother has to ask is how much risk they’re willing to take. And that’s a question some folks would argue is best answered by the woman and her doctor, rather than a state appellate court or a legislature’s pray circle or a police officer with an itchy trigger finger.
