Re-reading that legislation HotD posted, I gather they're saying if the abortion is post 20 weeks and meets the criteria defined (potential injury to the mother, a reported rape or incest), then the Dr. is obligated to try to deliver the baby alive.
In the case of incest or rape, it's pretty clear if the woman is requesting an abortion after 20 weeks, she clearly doesn't want the infant so if it's born alive, I guess it's likely going straight up for adoption? On the one hand, I can see the mother possibly not wanting to have her "bio" child out there with no say in the matter. On the other hand, the legislation sort of takes care of that because the incest or rape has to have been reported to even meet the exception so you'd think the mother would have known, back when she reported it, that she'd have to make a decision pronto.
Fascinating how they cover the bases here. Unfortunately, I think incest is widely under reported so I would expect that many a young girl who gets pregnant by incest (hoping that's rare) will NOT meet the exception and therefore will not be afforded the option to abort. While I feel a little badly about the potential young woman (girl?) in this situation, I think, after 20 weeks, I'm more with the bun in the oven on this.
